Each day is a sentence
in the story of your life
and each day you can
make the choice of
whether that sentence
ends with a period, a
question mark or an
exclamation point!

Before you can live a
part of you has to die
as you let go of what
could have been and
realize what you are
here today because of
choices you made
yesterday and it doesn't
matter how hard it was
to make those choices
but that you did.

Choose thoughts that give
you the emotions of being
alive and excited about life
and know that you are here
today because of the choices
you made yesterday and that
you can change your tomorrow
today.

You cannot change where you
came from but you can change
where you are going by knowing
that you cannot continue down
the same path and expect to
arrive at a different destination.

Life is not lived with intentions
but with action and the past
cannot be changed so we must
carry those choices we made
in a few brief seconds and pay
for them in the time that we
remain here.
