You Cannot Save Today For Later

The days are flying by, aren't they? It's August already! There are dozens of projects to do, people to see, and places to go.

Today may be another ordinary day, but it is yours to spend. You cannot save today for later. Don't let it slip by without doing something you love.




This is the beginning of a new day.
I can waste it or use it for good.
What I do today is important because
I am exchanging a day of my life for it.
When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever,
leaving in its place something I have traded for it.
I want it to be a gain, not a loss;
good, not evil;
success, not failure —
in order that I shall not regret the price I paid for it today.
