There is only one way life can be lived; day by day, hour by hour, and minute by minute. Outside of science fiction, there is no way to travel backward or skip forward in time.

This arrangement is a very good one. Today is plenty for us to handle. If we concentrate on the decisions and responsibilities of this day, we can cope with whatever comes our way. But if our minds are full of regret over the past and worry about the future, we are too overwhelmed to deal with the present.

We all think about the future, making plans and looking forward to events. But when we waste time and energy in useless worrying, we miss all the opportunities today offers. The best way to create wonderful tomorrows is to live fully, one day at a time.

"Day by day, I move forward along the pathway of my life."
