One Apple A Day #01
We don’t control time. We would like to, but we can’t. Every 24 hours a day is gone.
And time doesn’t care of what we do or don’t do.
Whatever we achieve, or fail to achieve, time goes ahead until another day is gone.
As Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote:
“Finish every day and be done with it. (…) tomorrow is a new day; (…) This new day is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the yesterdays.”
Let it go. Trying to fix the past it’s just a waste of energy.
Instead, learn from yesterday and decide how you want to live Today.
And you know what? Today will last 24 hours, like Yesterday. And at the end of that 24 hours Today will be gone.
Nothing you can do will change that. You can’t manage time.
What you can do is to be the best you can in this 24 hours you have.
Yesterday is the ground on which you are walking Today.
Build a better ground Today, so Tomorrow you will be able to walk faster and to go further.
But you won’t be able to go faster if you keep dragging the weight of yesterday on your shoulder.
