It is really hard sometimes to live just for today, but you know what, we would be so much better off, don’t you think? We came into this world with nothing and when we are gone, we will take nothing with us. If you really think about it…..we only have today for all we know. We bring into our world a lot of unnecessary worry because we think too much about tomorrow, which really never comes, because it is actually today. If we live the way we should today, tomorrow will be taken care of anyway and we must have faith that things will occur that is to our good.

When We Are Young
Training Our Thoughts When We are Young
When we are young, sometimes we forget that how we live today, determines our tomorrows, if we have them. We tend to forget that we will someday be older and that our needs will change. We forget that how we react to life today, could determine our reactions tomorrow. In fact, when we are young, we have a tendency not to think we will ever be old; it is the farthest thing in our thinking…for some, that is. It seems so far down the road, getting old that is; yet when it arrives we are in wonder how it passed us by so quickly. That’s when regrets set in and we wish we had thought about it sooner instead of being afraid we were going to miss something. There is a right way and a wrong way to Live Just For Today. We must remember that we will not have a chance to live today again.
Practice
If We Would Practice Living Just For Today
If we could live just for today with the ability to do what is totally right, our tomorrows would be different anyway, I think, don’t you? Oh well, we are human and we can’t do that….that is too hard. Nobody is perfect and to err is human. Yep, we do err, and it is human, but I think sometimes we make excuses for our life and blame everything on being human or on someone else when we must accept our own frailties. I think that we forget it is up to us to control our human nature and that if we worked on us as much as we try to work on what someone else should do or be, our own life would be so much the better for it. That is, of course, if we want and desire to be different tomorrow. Our tomorrows would definitely be different if we proposed to live and be the best we can for today.
We do have things that make us walk falteringly and without affirmation. We become fearful and feel alone, but this is when we can reach up for that higher power that we humans have access to. It is a knowing that we are not forgotten even though it feels like it and even though the situation we are in does not look like we have a friend in the world. If we seek consolation instead of anger for things which seem unbearable it will bring to us the comfort we need and make it bearable.
Living one day at a time is hard because we have situations which make us think about tomorrow. Things like the speech in front of fifty people, the court hearing we can’t miss, the budget we have to balance and can’t, the visit to the doctor because of symptoms. There are so many things in life which deter our thinking and keep us from our focus of today. This, I think is again is time for us to remember that we have today, we can only alter today as it unfolds, we can prepare our self by thinking the positive today. There are not too many things that can’t be fixed; we must accept what can and what cannot be fixed. We must believe that there is a season for everything, a time, a place and a purpose. We can only live in this moment, this day and it is up to us; to make it the best that the day can bring.

Today Quotes
Today Quotes:
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning. Albert Einstein
You see, it’s never the environment; it’s never the events of our lives, but the meaning we attach to the events - how we interpret them – that shapes who we are today and who we’ll become tomorrow. Tony Robbins
Yesterday is but today’s memory, and tomorrow is today’s dream.
Kahlil Gibran
One today is worth two tomorrows.
Benjamin Franklin
Never let yesterday use up too much of today.
Will Rogers
A man should never be ashamed to own that he has been in the wrong, which is by saying…that he is wiser today than yesterday.
Jonathan Swift
Our real problem then, is not our strength today; it is rather the vital necessity of action today to ensure our strength tomorrow.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Today is life – the only life you are sure of. Make the most of today. Get interested in something. Shake yourself awake. Develop a hobby. Let the winds of enthusiasm sweep through you. Live today with gusto.
Dale Carnegie

Thanks Teresa for reading, sometimes the things that would help us the most are the hardest things to do. I try do I always succeed, no but at least I have tried.
Thanks again
Good sound advice throughout. If anyone needs a guidepost for living they can start here with your Hub. Thank you.
Thanks for reading James. After I read your last post I felt so good that someone still had the strength to tell the truth even tho not popular. If you remember a few weeks ago Brit Humes got slammed for speaking out to Tiger W. about Jesus and Christianity.
You are right. It is sometimes hard to live just for today but we will be better off if we put our trust in God. He will take care of everything for our good. He has shown His wonders to me and to my family. I am sure that He will also do it for others too. Indeed, He cares for all of us.
This is a very inspiring poetry and write-up for everyone to read.
Happy Weekend!
Tina V thanks for taking the time to read and comment. It is very hard to put our "total" trust. It really is. You are right tho, if we do, we will be better off for it.

Hello Ictodd. I love this Hub! Right up my alley...or should I say mindset :) When I studied to become a Reiki Master, there were Five "Just for Today" Principles to learn as part of the practice - Give thanks, Don't worry, Don't be angry, Work honestly and Show kindness to every living thing.
This came from a Japanese Buddhist monk. The principles are so universal. Thank you for adding so much to the list. Beautiful.
Green Lotuc; Thank you and yes that adds to this hub greatly...give thank, don't worry, don't be angry, work honesstly and show kindness...I just had to repeat that. thank you so much for sharing these thoughts and truths on this hub. I love your work also.
We might just add; don't expect anyone to "give" you anything....or expect too much out of others...
Thank you again.
Your poem Just for Today is great!!
It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes,
"What I do today is important because
I am exchanging a day of my life for it."

Yes, YYN1221 it is sometimes a kick in the butt by some but the truth is the truth and yes I did see how Brit spoke up and his was a hand on experience. I admire him for saying the things he said on National TV. That took a commitment to Jesus.

Bless your heart!
