Stay In Today
| Without resolve, I find it very tempting to focus on yesterday and the things I could have done differently, or to give my attention to tomorrow and be concerned about how I can make tomorrow turn out well. In the process, I pay too little attention to today and to what I can contribute to this moment and the people in this moment with me.
I have counseled clients and friends who are going through such difficult situations that their fears overwhelm them. At such times, I have reminded them to, "Stay in today! Focus on what you can do today!" This one-day-at-a-time perspective has gotten me and those I know through demanding times.
Adopt a "Stay in today" creed:- I am given this moment once. I will value today! This moment, this day is precious!
- I will release what happened yesterday. It is beyond my ability to call it back and change it.
- I recognize that what may happen tomorrow is beyond my control.
- I will focus all my energies on today and on the people around me.
While it is important to review and learn from previous actions and outcomes and plan for tomorrow so that I understand what it is I must accomplish and by when, I must never squander this day with time consuming, self-centered thoughts about yesterday or fruitless speculations of tomorrow. I chose to stay in today! |
