What I do today is important because I am exchanging a day of my life for it

This quote is a great quote to start each and every day. Each year has 365 days in it, and you can use them wisely, or you can waste them. The amazing thing about this year is that every one of us has one thing in common: we all have 365 days.

The difference between us is how we use our days. Successful people understand the quote and live each day knowing they will never have it again.

They do what needs to be done, whether they like it or not.

They have focus, and know what it is they want to accomplish. And, most importantly, they take action and do it.

So many people make wishes, and that is all they do - wish.

They never take action; they think and talk about it, start a few things but not finish anything.

A saying that is worthy to note: "Never confuse motion with action".

Do not waste your days by:

· Focusing on yesterdays' failures - it is only a failure if you stop trying, and if you learned nothing from it.

· Anxiety over today's problems - if you can fix the problem do so, if not move on.

. Do not waste your day worrying about that which you have no control over.

· Worrying about tomorrow's uncertainty - remember it is today that you are living, not tomorrow.

. And, if you do the things that need to be done today, tomorrow will take care of itself.

· Allowing procrastination to dominate your day - procrastination truly is the thief of time.

· Giving up - there is a saying, "persistence prevails when all else fails."

Before you start each day, say the quote out loud: "What I do today is important because I am exchanging a day of my life for it."

Is what you are going to do today worth a day of your life?
