Today Is the Now
I've shut the door on yesterdayAnd thrown the key away.
Tomorrow holds no fears for me
Since I have found today.
~Vivian Y. Laramore
Living in the now is one of the most important ways of finding lasting Spirituality. One of the favorite slogans to be followed is "One day at a time." We willingly accept the fact that yesterday is gone forever and tomorrow is only an expectation. When we have finished with yesterday and have no fear of tomorrow, we can be assured that we can truly be content with each new today.
Living in the now is an acceptance of life's realities. Honesty is the key to being happy throughout each day as it comes. Today surely is the "first day of the rest of our lives." It can be, if lived with gratitude, love, and honesty, the best day yet in our newly found today.
Today truly can be that wonderful exciting day that yesterday, I eagerly called "tomorrow". I can greet every today by exclaiming, "This day can be the start of the best years of my life."
