Two Days Without Worry

There are two days in every week of 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 miseries, 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 that we had performed; we cannot take back a single word that we had said. Yesterday is gone forever.

The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow with all its possible adversities, its burdens, its large promises and its poor performance. Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.

Tomorrow's sun will rise, either in splendour 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 we 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 guilt of something which happened Yesterday and the dread of what Tomorrow may bring that drives us up the wall.

Let us, therefore, live but one day at a time.
