"Remember, today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday"....Dale Carnegie.
I always forget this!!! But it's a thought that would certainly make life easier....if I could remember it :-)
The following is taken from Dale Carnegie's Scrapbook....
"Look to this day!
For it is life, the very life of life.
In its brief course
Lie all the verities and realities of your existence:
The bliss of growth
The glory of action
The splendor of beauty,
For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision
But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day!
Such is the salutation to the dawn"....Kalidasa.
Well, anyone who has received an email from me as a result of emailing me or signing my guestbook...knows I love Leo Buscaglia. He definitely teaches that life is love and love is NOW! I love Buscaglia....he was so full of life and was never afraid of being himself. One time he had his college students over for some type of study. The neighborhood he lived in was "well maintained." Well, not to say his yard wasn't beautifully manicured....but it was covered with fall foliage. During his study with his students there came a knock on the door....a neighbor asked him if he could please do something about all those leaves in his yard. He did....right then. He and his students went outside....had a blast cleaning up all the beautiful leaves and bringing them INSIDE where they spread them all over the floor, sat down on them, and proceeded with their study :-) I know, a little unusual to say the least....but he made people feel wonderful :-)
