Attitude Stories
One Day at a Time
There are two days in every week about which we should not worry - two days that should be kept free from fear and apprehension.
One of these days is yesterday with its mistakes and cares, faults and blunders, 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 we should not worry about is tomorrow. Tomorrow's sun will rise, whether in splendor or behind a mask of clouds. Until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow. It is yet unborn.
This leaves only one day - Today. It is when we add the burdens of two eternities - yesterday and tomorrow that we break down.
It is not necessarily the experience of today that disturbs one's peace of mind. It is often the bitterness for something that happened yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring.
Let us therefore live one day at a time.
