There are two days in every week about which we
should not worry, two days which should be kept free 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 forever. The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow
with all its possible adversities, its burdens, its large promise and its poor
performance; Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control. Tomorrow's sun will
rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise. Until it
does, we have no stake in Tomorrow, for it is yet to be born. This leaves only
one day, Today. Any person can fight the battle of just one day. It is when you
and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities Yesterday and Tomorrow that
we break down. It is not the experience of Today that drives a person mad, it
is the remorse or bitterness of something which happened Yesterday and the dread
of what Tomorrow may bring. Let us, therefore, Live but one day at a time.
There are no shortcut to any place worth going. The way to the top is neither swift or easy. Nothing worth while ever happens in a hurry, so be patient. Your success has less to do with speed and more to do with timing and direction. The key is doing the right thing at the right time. You are always nearer than you think. The greater oppurtunity is where you are. Do not despise your own place and hour. The most important thing in our lives is what we are doing now. Know the real value of today. The regrets that most people experience in life comes from failing to act when having an oppurtunity. Be on the outlook for oppurtunities God is sending your way. Seize the momoments! The trouble with life in the fast lane is that you get to the other end too soon. Hastes makes waste; give time, time. Many people over estimate what they can do in a year and under estimate what they can do in a life time. There is simply more to life than increasing it's speed.
