As you go about your lives everyday, do take a break from your hectic schedule for a brief moment and consider the following:

There are 2 days in every week that we should not worry about. 2 days that should be kept from fear and apprehension.

The first is "yesterday", with its mistakes and flaws, 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 certain act or take back a word we said. Yesterday is gone forever.

The other day which we should not worry about is "tomorrow", with its impossible adversaries, its burdens, its hopeful promises and poor performances. Tomorrow's Sun will rise either in splendour or behind a mask of clouds. Whichever it is, the Sun will still rise and until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow for it is yet unknown.

This leaves only one day; "today". Any person can fight the battle for just one day. It is only when we add the burdens of yesterday and tomorrow that we break down. The sadness comes not only from the experience of today but the remorse of bitterness which happened yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring.

Yes, sometimes life might throw unpleasant things at you but do keep in mind that you are not the only one at the receiving end. When reality bites, we must endure and move on. It is ok to feel sad but never be depressed. Ultimately, life still goes on. Keep that in mind when you go about completing your never-ending workload everyday.

I am too free now to be bothered with these kind of things.
