As heard on the 1XX Breakfast Show with Colin Magee.
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 and 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. Yesterday is gone!
The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow with its possible adversities, its burdens, its large promises and poor performances.
Tomorrow’s sun will rise either in splendour or behind a mask of cloud – but it will rise. Until it does we have no stake in Tomorrow, for it is yet unborn.
That leaves only one day, today! Any man can fight the battles of one day. It is only when you add the burdens of these two awful eternities – Yesterday and Tomorrow that we break down.
It’s not the experience of today that drives men mad – it is remorse or bitterness for something that happened Yesterday, or the dread of what may happen Tomorrow.
Then let us journey but – One Day at a time.
