It’s the beginning of a new day

We can waste it
Or use it for good
For what we do today
May change the course of our lives forever
We want to be good
Not evil
Success

Success
Not failure
Knowing this
May we never forget the price we pay
Amen

COT:
Two thoughts from a video of millionaire businessmen:
“Anything and everything that happens to you is not your fault but it is your problem” and “Procrastination is the assassination of the destination”

We are dealt different challenges and we get to chose how to manage them, regardless how they came into our lives. With that we make goals and plans, but procrastination will always be there to kill those before we even start. Be mindful of it and when it is holding you back from the progress that you want to make.
