Ralph Waldo Emerson
One of my favorite wise men
~*~
“Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.
Finish every 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;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.
This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.”
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
(Collected Poems and Translations)

Such a great approach to life by Emerson. Thanks for sharing his wisdom with us.
This is actually good advice. Live each day as best you can, accept the "blunders and absurdities." Then move on starting each day with a clean slate.
