one day at a time,

is how i have come to define my life

allows me to concentrate on what is in front of me

and makes for a better lead into tomorrow

today has its challenges and concerns and they deserve my full attention

which i can only give if i am grounded in today

the tug of trying to predict tomorrow is a human trait

that serves little purpose other than promising to allay our fears

which is folly

the better way to influence tomorrow is getting the best results from today

tie yourself to today and everyday will be the best you can do

that is all that this universe of you
