"ONE DAY AT A TIME"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, 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 forever. The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow with all its possible adversities, its burdens, its large promise and its p oor performance;Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control. Tomorrow's sun will rise, either 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 to be born.This leaves only one day, Today. Any person can fight the battle of just one day. It is when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities Yesterday and Tomorrow that we break down. It is not the experience of Today that drives a person mad, it is the remorse or bitterness of something which happened Yesterday and the dread of what Tomorrow may bring.Let us, therefore, Live but one day at a time.

To Risk...To laugh ...is to risk appearing the fool.To weep ... is to risk appearing sentimental.To reach out for another ... is to risk involvement.To expose feelings ... is to risk exposing our true self.To place your ideas, your dreams, before the crowd is to risk loss.To love is to risk not being loved in return.To live is to risk dying.To hope is to risk despair.To try at allis to risk failure.But to risk, we must, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

If you've fallen a little behind schedule, that's no reason to get discouraged. On the contrary, it's a reason to get going. The sooner you get started, the more you'll get done. The sooner you get to work, the more value you'll create with your efforts. Do you want your work to bring maximum results? Then get moving on it right away. It may sometimes seem that the easiest choice is to slack off and delay your efforts until later. Yet by doing that, you're actually making things more difficult for yourself. To get the most done with the least amount of effort, get started on it as soon as possible. That way, instead of making time your enemy, you'll have time working on your side. This is your opportunity to fill your life with richness and your world with value. Get up, get going, and get it done. Ralph Marston
