"It is better to be hated for what you are
than to be loved for what you are not."
--Andre Gide
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 all it’s mistakes and
cares, it’s faults and blunders, it’s 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, for
YESTERDAY is gone.

The other day we should not worry about is
TOMORROW… with it’s impossible adversaries, it’s
burden, it’s hopeful promise or poor performance.
TOMORROW is beyond our control. TOMORROW’S
Sun will rise either in glorious splendor or behind a
bank of clouds, but the Sun will indeed rise. And
when it does, we have no stake in tomorrow, for it
is yet unborn.

This leaves us with 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 and find
ourselves enslaved by our own feelings. It is not
the experience of
TODAY that drives people to
discontent and despair, it is the remorse for
something that happened
YESTERDAY and the
dread of what
TOMORROW might bring.

Let us all therefore live one day at a time.

Roy L. Denton v Steve Rievley
Case No. 1:07:CV-211
A Man in the Arena

It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out
how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds
might have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is
actually in the arena, whose face is marred with sweat and dust and
blood; who strives valiantly; who errsand comes short again and
again; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotions, and
spends himself in a worthy cause; who, if he wins, knows the
triumph of high achievement; and who, if he fails, at least fails
while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those
cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat!
