TWO DAYS IN A WEEK

"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 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 we should not worry about 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 or behind a mask of clouds; but it will rise. Until it
does, we have no stake in tomorrow, for it is as yet unborn. This leaves
only one day: Today.

Anyone can fight the battles of just one day. It is only 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 us mad,
it is remorse and bitterness for something which happened Yesterday and
the dread of what Tomorrow may bring. Let us therefore, live this one full
Today."
