Each day is like a seed.  
Within each seed is a blueprint 
of what it was created to be.  
It too, starts in the darkness 
knowing that there will be light ahead.  
The seed, the day and you evolve 
as you move forward.
The seed is pre-destined to be one thing. 
 The day, measured by man's choosing 
and God's design, 
continues on and cannot be saved, 
slowed down or passed over.  
You, uniquely you, 
are the only part of this plan 
that has a choice.  
From the first thought you have, 
until the last moment before slumber, 
you choose not only what kind of day it will be, 
but how it will impact all of your tomorrows. 
It is not your circumstances 
that makes you who you are, 
but your choices.
The world has already influenced you 
by celebrating Fridays, dreading Mondays
and pushing you over "hump day."  
You awaken on Saturday and shove into it 
a week's worth of activity.  
Then Sunday morning, as peaceful as it feels,
 slowly gives way to thoughts of Monday's unwanted approach.
Isn't it time to change your attitude?
Stepping into a new day is a gift 
not given to everyone.  
Why not treat it with the respect is deserves?
It is after all, the beginning of a race,  
a song, a launch, a jump, an experiment,
a sermon, and a lesson.  
Here's to today, my friend 
and many tomorrows.  
"I believe in you!"
