Posted: Apr 28, 2007 Topic Views : 4675 Post subject: Yesterday Today and Tomorrow
There are two days in every week we should not worry about, two days that should be kept free from fear and apprehension.
One 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. Nor can we erase a single word we've said - yesterday is gone.
The other day we shouldn't worry about is tomorrow, with its impossible. Tomorrow is beyond our control. Tomorrow's sun will rise either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds but it will rise. And until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow, for it is yet unborn.
This leaves only one day - today. Any person can fight the battles of just one day. It is only when we add the burdens of yesterday and tomorrow that we break down.
It is not the experience of today that drives people mad - it is the remorse of bitterness for something that happened yesterday, and the dread of what tomorrow may bring.

The story said it correctly that most of us are in danger, just because we do not know how to live in the present moment. We are depressed about the past and anxious about the future. We forget that the past has passed away and it is just like a dream we have seen, and we know nothing about the future, What we are to do is to act 100 % in the present moment and of course with commitment and skill. It is sure the result will come.
