I have been given this day to use as I will. I can waste it, or use it. I can make it a day long to be remembered for its joy, its beauty and its achievements, or it can be filled with pettiness. What I do [today is important because I am exchanging a day of my life](https://www.poetryoflife.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/post/how-my-life-changed-in-one-boring-day.md) for it. When tomorrow comes this day will be gone forever, but I shall hold something which I have traded for it. It may be no more than a memory, but if it is a worthy one I shall not regret the price. I want it to be gain not loss, good not evil, success not failure. [image courtesy](https://seanchow.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/sunrise.jpg)
