What’s a personal mantra or philosophy you live by?
The first time and place I heard it was in AA, one of our mantras.
“Yesterday is gone, Tomorrow is not promised, Today is all we have”.
If you say it and think as you say it, it is what I live by. I can’t do anything about yesterday, what I did or what I said, all I can do is learn from any mistakes I made and move on.
We are not promised to wake up tomorrow, it’s all up to the plan, yes, there’s a life plan.
Today, today is all we have. Focus on the day and control what you can. Be grateful for those in your life and the life your living. If you’re not happy with work, a relationship, then change it. Use today to change tomorrow. Don’t stress over things you don’t know the outcome. Don’t role-play in your mind all the what ifs. Live and like I’ve told my kids, “Just do the best you can.”
