Sunday Reflections — Living life one day at a time
This week, Sunday Reflections brings you the mantra of living life one day at a time:
“The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.” ~ Abraham Lincoln
“You never know the plan. You never know what’s going to happen. We are not even promised tomorrow. I just try to focus on one day at a time.” ~ Morgan Wallen
“The future comes one day at a time so don’t fear and try to solve all the worries and problems of the future today.” ~ Dean Acheson
“It’s a waste of time to think about what I should have done and what I didn’t. I really believe in that. That’s how I react to the if-onlys of life. To moan and groan about something I shouldn’t have done, could have done, might have done…who knows? It is what it is. You got what you got. I live my life one day at a time.” ~ Liza Minnelli
“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered…” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
“I can’t promise you that you’ll ever live in a world where people don’t hurt your feelings. But I can promise you that if you keep on moving and taking one day at a time, the opinions and words of people who hurt you will matter less and less to you. ~ Taylor Swift
“And I learned what is obvious to a child. That life is simply a collection of little lives, each lived one day at a time. That each day should be spent finding beauty in flowers and poetry and talking to animals. That a day spent with dreaming and sunsets and refreshing breezes cannot be bettered.” ~ Nicholas Sparks
“When you improve a little each day, eventually big things occur. Not tomorrow, not the next day, but eventually a big gain is made. Don’t look for the big, quick improvement. Seek the small improvement one day at a time. That’s the only way it happens — and when it happens, it lasts.” ~ John Wooden
“I think there are always phases in life when things get intense or difficult, whether it’s the sheer volume of work or personal circumstances. And I’ve definitely had tough moments. The way I approach them is just to tell myself that this, too, will pass, and take it one day at a time.” ~ Marianne Lake
“A good friend of mine once told me that each morning when you wake up, think about winning the day. Don’t worry about a week from now or a month from now — just think about one day at a time. If you are worried about the mountain in the distance, you might trip over the molehill right in front of you. Win the day!” ~ Drew Brees
What day is it? “It’s today,” squeaked Piglet. “My favorite day,” said Pooh. ~ A. A. Milne
