TIME

Time has a way of creeping up on you. Each and every day is precious, make the most out of every day. The world is revolving faster every day. You can’t change yesterday but you can make the most of today.

Something you wanted to do, do it. Someone you want to see, go visit them. Something you want to say, say it. For tomorrow is not promised to anyone.

If you love someone, tell them. If you are sorry for something you said or done, fix it while there is time. Make the change, see how when you go and change things to make them better you will
feel so much better about yourself.

Love and don’t hate. Don’t waste your time. Spend your time making your time matter.
