I rise above doubts and confusion of the past.Today, I live with confidence.
I rise above bitterness and resentment of the past.Today, I express love.
I rise above ignorance and carelessness of the past.Today, I manifest wisdom.
I rise above guilt and shame of the past.Today, I am loved and forgiven.
I rise above fear and anxiety of the past.Today, I am peaceful.
Today's Quote:
Life's greatest treasures are hidden behind the door labeled courage.

2 Days Without Worry
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 poor 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.

TIME
Time is not measured
by the years that you live
But by the deeds that you do
and the joy that you give
And each day as it comes
brings a chance to each one
To love to the fullest
leaving nothing undone
That would brighten the life
or enlighten the load
Of some weary traveler
lost on Life's Road
So what does it matter
how long we may live
If as long as we live
we unselfishly give.
