There was a time that I used to spend a lot of my time thinking of the past and the future. Almost everyone always regrets the past and hopes for the future. On any good day, the past teaches us and the future drives us. And for sometime in my life I had only good days. Till reality struck.. and boy did it strike hard. It threw me off my game completely. Now thinking of yesterday just makes me upset and the future makes me anxious.

So for now, I just think about today. No burden of hopes and no regrets of the past. One day at a time. I made it today. And like Master Oogway says “Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, but Today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.”

Life today is beautiful.
