For The Rest of My Life or For Today


For the rest of my life. I can't do this for the rest of my life. Fortunately, the rest of my life is not all in one day. I can do this today. What I like about living in the present is today is today and it's only today.

My resentments were born yesterday. Today is not yesterday. I can leave the resentment where it came from: in yesterday. No reason to bring yesterday to today. There's no room.

Tomorrow is where fear lives. Today is not tomorrow, so no reason to bring tomorrow's fear into today. Today is today and right this moment is really all today is. Right now. Now. Now. Now.
Right now I have no resentments and no fears. When I leave today and go to yesterday or tomorrow I walk into resentment and fear.

I only have today. I've made mistakes in the past, Good chance I will stumble in the future. But today I am able to be the best man I am capable of being when people need me most to be me. No one needs me yesterday. Tomorrow will be today. And today I am able to do.
