This is the Beginning of a New Day.

I Can Waste It ... or Use It For Good.

But 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 It's Place Something That I Have Traded For It.

I Want It to Be Gain and Not Loss, Good and Not Evil,

Success and Not Failure, in Order That I Not Regret the Price I Have Paid For It.

I Will Give 100% of Myself Just For Today,

For You Never Fail Until You Stop Trying.

I Will Be the Kind of Person I have Always Wanted To Be ...

I Have Been Given This Day to Use as I Will.
