Yesterday and Tomorrow by Robert J. Burdette

[*lynn*]

There are two days in every week about which we should not worry- two days that should be kept free from any fear and apprehension. One of these days is Yesterday, with its mistakes and cares, its aches and pains, its faults and blunders. 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; we can not rectify a single mistake. Yesterday has passed forever beyond recall. Let it go.

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 spendor or behind a mass of clouds-but it will rise. And until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow, because it is as yet unborn.

That leaves us but one day- Today! And a person can fight the battles of just one day.

Yesterday and Tomorrow are futile worries. Let us, therefore, resolve to journey no more than one day at a time.



I love this!!!

Wow, thats powerful, and true, I never really thought like that...
But, in my opinion, you should look ahead, not necessarily to tomorrow, but you should foresee your journeys before you quest, you should know what can happen, you should be prepared, but yes, you never can tell exactly what will happen, even if you could see into the future, your foresought may not be 100% correct, and the likeliness of preventing disaster, even when you know it is to come, is impossible. But I like the idea of focusing on what you're doing now, don't look ahead, because what you are doing now will effect what you do in the future, without today, there is no tomorrow. :)
