It means that today is what matters. You can’t do anything about the past and you don’t know what the future holds so make the best of every day.

I think it means just what it says. Yesterday happened in the past (history happens in the past) Tomorrow is in the near future so you cannot know what will happen (mystery not knowing what can happen) and today is a gift, call it the present, because gift means the same as present and today means the same as present, as in saying present day. Hope this helps

It means exactly what it says – that yesterday is gone (“history”); tomorrow hasn’t happened yet, so it’s a mystery, and today is a gift – also known as a “present” – and today IS “the present.” It means don’t worry about the past or the future; live for NOW. I’m not sure if I agree with that completely, but on the whole, it’s pretty good advice 🙂

yesterday is history – it cant be changed or altered, its happened and part of history

tomorrow is a mystery – who kows whats going to happen tomorrow?

today is a gift, that why we call it the present – play on words – gift and present are synonyms – they mean that same thing

yesterday is history = yesterday happened already

tomorrow is a mystery = no one knows what will happen tomorrow

today is gift, thats why we call it the present = a little joke the writer made to be funny

It’s pretty self expanitory… Each day is a gift.. Live it to it’s fullest. You can’t change what happened yesterday and you don’t know what going to happen tomorrow.

It means to enjoy what you are doing right now. Do not over-worry about either the past or future.
