Why fret for tomorrow?

We are all caught in a storm of fears and anxieties about our future-----will we fall sick, will we lose our beloved ones, will we become a bankrupt ……so on.



Have we ever paused and pondered whether these fears will ever become true.They are all imaginary.Even assuming but not admitting,they will be true, don’t you think you are worrying twice on the same issue---when it has not happened at present and when it really happens in the future.We can definitely avoid worrying about it at present.
If our fears are not going to be true our present worry will be a sheer waste.



Live each day…..Live in the present--- is the saying of wise people.
Pamposh in her blog five principles for daily living has cited five principles of Reikhi.



Tomorrow becomes today again.So these principles are applicable not only for today but for all the days to follow till our last.




Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is mystery
Today is gift.
That’s why it is called the Present.



Treasure every moment you have.
Life is a bank account
There is no going back or drawing against tomorrow.
You must live in today’s deposits.
Make the most of today.

If only we could follow the above principles life will be so beautiful isn't it?
