1st day of the rest of your life

Whatever you want in life, start today.
Not tomorrow - today.
 Let it be a small beginning - a tiny beginning.
Your happiness depends on starting today - every day.

Yesterday Today and Tomorrow

There are two days in every week that 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 adversaries, its burden, its hopeful promise and poor performance.
TOMORROW is beyond our control.
TOMORROW'S sun will rise either in splendour, 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, which happened YESTERDAY, and the dread of what TOMORROW may bring.
 Let us, therefore, LIVE ONE DAY AT A TIME!

The Storm

And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive.
You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over.
But one thing is certain.
When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in.

something to think about

Life

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is bliss, taste it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.

~Mother Teresa
