Make Today the Best Day it Can Be

Tomorrow's sun will rise
either in
splendor
or behind a mask of clouds ... but it will rise ... and until it
does. We have no stake in tomorrow, for it is as yet unborn.


YESTERDAY,
TOMORROW
... and TODAY


The
journey's our goal, our path is the point ... There
are two days in every week we should never worry about,
two days
that should
be kept free from fear and apprehension. One
is yesterday, with its mistakes and cares, its aches and pains, its
faults and
blunders.
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 erase a single word we've said. Yesterday is gone.The
other day we should not worry about is tomorrow, with its impossible
adversaries, its burden, its hopeful promise and unknown performance. Tomorrow is
beyond
our control.  Tomorrow's sun will rise either in
splendor
or behind a mask of clouds ... but it will rise ... and until it
does. We have no stake in tomorrow, for it is as yet unborn.
This leaves
only one day: TODAY!
Anyone can fight the battles of just one day.
It
is only when we add the burdens of yesterday and tomorrow that we break
down.It
is not the experience of today that drives people mad.It
is the remorse of bitterness for something that happenedyesterday,
and the
dread of what tomorrow may bring.

Make
TODAY the best day it can be
, and live one day at a time!

*Maintain good relationships with your family and friends, and accept
their help in times of stress. Also, getting
involved in community groups or faith-based organizations may help give
you social support when you need it.

*Try to look at the big
picture of life, and avoid viewing difficult times as insurmountable.
Take small steps toward your goals and take one day at a time.


*Accept that change is a part of life and
come to terms with circumstances that you cannot change.

*Keep
working toward your goals every day, and ask yourself "What can I do
today to move in the direction I need to go?"

*Keep a positive
view of yourself and your ability to solve problems.

*Maintain a
positive view of life and visualize what you want.

*Notice how
you have changed after a tragedy or crisis. Many people report having
more confidence in themselves after a crisis and some even have a deeper
appreciation for life. Get what you can out of these tough times.

*Take
care of yourself! Get enough food, sleep, and exercise to
keep yourself healthy. This is especially important during times of
stress.

*Lastly, seek professional help if you feel that the
situation is too hard for you to handle on your own. A licensed mental
health professional, such as a counselor or psychologist, can help you
develop a strategy for moving forward in your life.
