"One day at a time"--------- Alcoholics who have found AA are constantly reminded that they need only to stay sober "one day at a time". Today, for them as far for us, is the key word.
The ancient Persian poet Omar says " Unborn tomorrow and dead Yesterday, Why fret about them if today be sweet!"
Our business is to amke today sweet----- full of achievment, improvement, and interesting acitivity. If we concentrate on today in this way, we'll have no time for brooding over dead yesterdays, or worrying about what tomorrows will bring. One thin we can be sure of----if we do our best today, our tomorrows will certainly be better than our yesterdays.
Most of us can meet the problems of just one day at a time. It is only when we add the awful burdens of yesterday and tomorrow that we are attempting to cope with more trouble than necessary.
It is not what happens today that is beyone our powers to endure, it is the remorse or bitterness for things that happened yesterday, and dread of what tomorrow will bring.
Let us remind ourselves each morning that we will live this day as fully and confidently as we can.
