Two eternities we should never worry about
are
yesterday and tomorrow.

The remorse of a yesterday
or the dread of a tomorrow
can drive us mad.

Yesterday was to learn

and
tomorrow
will be the consequence

 of what I can do
today.
                         Today I will face life
                 with the conviction

         that this day

 will not ever return.
Today is the last opportunity
I have to live intensely,

as no one can assure me
that I will see tomorrow's sunrise.
Today I will be brave enough
not to let any opportunity pass me by,

my only alternative is to succeed.
Today I will invest
my most valuable resource:

my time,

in the most transcendental work:

my life
I will spend each minute passionately
to make of today
a different
and unique day in my life.
  Today I will defy

every obstacle
that appears on my way

trusting
I will succeed.
Today. . .

I will resist
pessimism

and will conquer

the world with a smile,

with the positive attitude

that. . . .
Today. . .

I will have my feet on the ground

understanding reality
and the stars' gaze

to invent my future.
             Today. . .

  I will take the time to be happy

and will leave my footprints
and my presence,

in the hearts of others.
Today,

I invite you to begin a new season

where we can dream
that everything we undertake is possible

and we fulfill it,

with joy and dignity.
My friend,

you are asked to do nothing. . .

  other than. . . . .


Have a good day and

a better one tomorrow! 2
You always do what you want to do.
This is true with every act.

You may say
that you
had to do something,
or that you were
forced to,
but actually,
whatever you do,
you do by
choice.

Only
you
have the power
to choose for yourself.

         Today. . .

 I will delete from my diary

two days:

yesterday
and
 tomorrow
Today I can complain
or I can be thankful
the grass is getting watered for free.


Today I can grumble
about my health;
or I can rejoice I am alive.


Today I can cry
because roses have thorns;
or I can celebrate
that thorns have roses.


Today I can whine
because I have to go to work;
or I can shout for joy
because I have a job to go to.


Today stretches ahead of me,
waiting to be shaped.
I'm the sculptor
who gets to do the shaping.


What today will be like
is up to me.

I get to choose
what kind of day
        I will have!


Have a Great Day . . .

unless you have other plans. 1
