A New Life Each Day

You are living today, but often are still living in yesterday. Today is a complete and new day but you are often influenced by yesterday.

The past is already gone. It should only serve as a reference point. It is because of your attachment to self, to thought, to others in the form of words or deeds that troubles are created in your life. In the last analysis your life is simple. That is, you can make it complicated. It is you as far as your life is concerned. It is I who create my own karma in the form of worry or joy.

It could be god or it could be bad, but in the last analysis it is my own making. If your life and mine are not thought of as complete, then something wrong is in ourselves. The sun shines, there is air. Trees are growing. There is water to drink. Everything for me, everything for you. You are the center of all life. This is the reality of life. You should live today as a fresh new day that it is.

This is not easy for the past is so stron in us. But this i really the trick in life, to live today as a new doay without having yesterday as the contents of today's life. You can't escape or forget about yesterday, for it is you. But still, today is a new day, a new life.
