Searching for the Perfect Day

Sir William Osler told his students at Yale, "Live neither in the past nor in the future, but let each day absorb all your interest, energy and enthusiasm. The best preparation for tomorrow is to live today superbly well." Yes, anxiety seems always rooted in regret about the past or fear about the future. Each day should begin with a simple plan to reach attainable goals that very day, and end with a simple review. Each day a separate life - no regret of yesterday or anxiety about tomorrow. Perhaps even each moment a separate life - with one thought always repeating, "I make choices."
