YESTERDAY.....TODAY AND TOMORROW
There are two days in every week about which we should not worry, two days whould shoud be kept from fear and apprehension.
One of these days is YESTERDAY with all its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. YESTERDAY has passed forever beyond our control.
All the money in the world cannot bring back YESTERDAY. We cannot undo a single act we performed, we cannot erase a single word we said. YESTERDAY is gone.
The other day which we should not worry abour is TOMORROW with its possible adversities, its burdens, its large promise and poor performance. TOMORROW is also beyond our immediate control.
TOMORROW'S sun will rise, either in splendor of behing a mask of clouds -- but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in TOMORROW, for it is yet unborn.
This leaves only one day -- TODAY -- Any one can fight the battles of just one day. It is only when you and I add the burdens of the two awful eternities --YESTERDAY and TOMORROW --that we break down.
It is not the experiance of TODAY that drives us mad -- Its the remorse and bitterness of something which happened YESTERDAY , and the dread of what TOMORROW may bring.
