Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

Yesterday, and all the yesterdays have gone, passed. The mistakes, the wrongs, all our regrets, they stretch back from this time, back to our beginning. Nothing we do, nothing we say, no amount of wishing, no amount of crying will change anything, not one iota. It is as if written in stone. Left it’s indelible mark on history.

Tomorrow and all the tomorrows have as yet not been born. They do not exist nor is there any promise that they will. They may stretch forward for many years to come, or, they might be cut short in the womb before being birthed. All the plans, dreams and hopes come to naught if there are no tomorrows.

Today is the day over which you have power. Today is the day over which you can wield your influence, where you can make a difference. Deeds of yesterday cannot be changed, but today is within your control. No wrongs, no regrets if today is lived much better.

How true it is in the saying that yesterday is gone we can't change, tomorrow is not yet designed we can only expect so the lesson?
Live today as the only thing that matters

Very wise words Steve... So many people are rushing headlong into the future... or moaning about past hurts. applause purple heart
