How many of us spend time worrying about what happened yesterday or what might happen tomorrow???
We need to spend our time focusing on today...
Why???
Yesterday is water over the dam as they say and tomorrow may or may not become what we worry it might become...
Statistically speaking, we have just as many successes in our lifetimes as we have failures... many of us do not realize because we have not been trained in statistical analysis... therefore, it makes little to no sense to us...
We also, in part, let ourselves be judged by our peers so what we do or do not do is influenced by how they might perceive us if we did or did not do something...
For those of us who are elderly but do not consider ourselves old (yet), we understand the concept of looking at today... and not the past nor the future, although, we have photos of our past that we look at from time to time.
For those of us who are handicapped (both physically and mentally), we also understand the concept of today and living every single minute with purpose, acceptance, appreciation, and gratitude.
For those of us who are spiritually enlightened, we understand the concept... and, not just see and understand today, but spend time with all of nature's voluntarily free beauty that has been made available to each and every one of us... who is willing to let shine into our souls and become one with its magnificence.
It is said that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder and I am sure that this is true, but nature's beauty is unavailable for interpretation as it is just there to behold and infuse with our own inner beauty that seldom comes out to see the light of day and that is sad because we were given birth solely for this purpose and finally accept that reality just before it is too late.
