"Erase the thoughts of yesterday that would rob us of today's happiness," Ernest Holmes.
Ernest Holmes goes on to say that we must stop any thoughts of worry, anxiety, indecision, discouragement, and depression in order to be happy. For me it is not just the thoughts of yesterday that I must guard against, it is also the fears of tomorrow. Usually I do a good job of not being anxious, but I awoke at 3:00 a.m. with worries about money. Very unusual for me, and I noticed that that early worry flavored the rest of my day; even though I tried to shake it off. Stopping and transforming negative thoughts as they emerge is a critical component of happiness.
