Imagine there is a bank account that credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day.
Every evening the bank deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out every cent, of course?
Each of us has such a bank. It's name is TIME.
Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds.
Every night it writes off as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to a good purpose.
It carries over no balance. It allows no over draft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day.
If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no drawing against "tomorrow."
You must live in the present on today's deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness and success!
The clock is running!! Make the most of today.
To realise the value of one year, ask a student who failed a grade.
To realise the value of one month, ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.
To realise the value of one week, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realise the value of one hour, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To realise the value of one minute, ask a person who just missed a train.
To realise the value of one second, ask someone who just avoided an accident.
To realise the value of one millisecond, ask the person who won a silver medal at the olympics.
Treasure every moment that you have! And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with. And remember time waits for no one.
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why its called the present

Because each day we are given a new start, a new chance to be the best version of ourselves that we can be. We are given the opportunity to be a better husband/wife, mother/father, sister/brother, friend. We must embrace this chance and make the very best out of it by molding ourselves into the person that we want to be.

For the love of my children as well as myself. The love that God has for me by making it possible that I do in fact wake up everyday.

Being able to kiss my husband good morning and hear him say he loves me. Also, hearing that little cry from my baby boy wanting his mommy and looking into his eyes and knowing he is all mine and i gave life to that little spirit. And all the love from my family.

The rumbling sound of hunger in my stomach,
The need to go to the loo,
The compulsion of a job and the need to fight poverty to the last.

My need to keep my job so I can make money and have a place to live. That, and its exciting to see what each day may bring.

The little people under the bathroom sink. They tell me jokes while I'm shaving.

Because if I don't, I'll wet the bed.
And if I get up late, I'll be late to work. And if I continue to be late, I will lose my good job and have to settle for a crappy job.
Which would mean a lower quality of life and standard of living.
