Isn't it amazing, at that age all you care about is playing, eating, pooping and sleeping. No need to worry about what you are doing with your life and where your life is headed. I think that is something I need to really learn and emulate myself. To live life in 24 hr packets and forget the things done yesterday or things that may or may not happen tomorrow. I really am trying but as you know with us adults it is tough to train our minds to do differently than what we have been taught.
Here is a little passage I found online somewhere about the 2 days we shouldn't be worried about:
Two Days We Should Not Worry
Author Unknown, Source Unknown
There are two days in every week about which we should not worry, two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.
One of these days is Yesterday with all its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains.
Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back Yesterday.
We cannot undo a single act we performed; we cannot erase a single word we said.Yesterday is gone forever.
The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow with all its possible adversities, its burdens,its large promise and its poor performance; Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.
Tomorrow's sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise.Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow, for it is yet to be born.
This leaves only one day, Today. Any person can fight the battle of just one day.It is when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities Yesterday and Tomorrow that we break down.
It is not the experience of Today that drives a person mad, it is the remorse or bitterness of something which happened Yesterday and the dread of what Tomorrow may bring.
Let us, therefore, Live but one day at a time.
