Why Should We Be Concerned with Just Today?
I came across this “truth” while going through my emails and I really liked reading it so I thought I’d share this simple fact and truth about life and how we can easily let ourselves get stressed. For more insights such as this, you can go to Rex Barker’s, Joke-Of-The-Day
I also left a funny “Dumb Blonde” joke at the end of this post….
“Just Today” - by Dara F of Portland, Maine…
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 beyond our immediate control. Tomorrow’s sun will rise, whether in splendor or behind a mask of clouds. But it will rise. Until it does we have no stake in tomorrow, for it is yet unborn.
This leaves only one day: Today.
Any man can fight the battles of just one day. It is when you and I add the burdens of two awful eternities - yesterday and tomorrow, that we break down.
It is not necessarily the experience of today that disturbs one’s peace of mind. It is often time the bitterness for something which happened yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring. Let us therefore live one day at a time.
This is Rex Barker reminding you that while we should remember the past and plan and anticipate the future, it is critical that we don’t get paralyzed by either. By focusing on making the best of the present, we can actually make the past a sweeter learning experience, and make tomorrow’s hopes and dreams closer to reality.
Have a Wonderful Week And make it A Safe, Healthy, Stress-Free and Prosperous December!
Here’s a short “Blonde” joke for ya.’ Enjoy!
A depressed blonde decided to commit suicide by hanging herself from a tree in the park.
A few days later, a man was walking his dog and noticed her hanging from the tree. He asked her what she’s doing and she replied,”I’m hanging myself.”
You’re supposed to put the noose around your neck, not your waist,” said the man.
“I tried that,” replied the blonde,”but I couldn’t breathe…”
