Today is a very important day. You are exchanging today for a day of your life.
You can waste it - or you can use it for good.
When tomorrow comes, today will be gone forever, leaving in its place for what you have traded it.
Use it for gain not loss; for good not evil; for right not wrong; for success not failure.
Use it for the best that is in you so that you will never regret the price you have paid for this day.
