Good Afternoon. Here is a great thought for the day: In my younger days, I was a very avid, competitive softball player. When I was probably 25-26 years old, I played in a tournament against a team from a nearby town. On their team was a player who was 44-45 years old. He played the game the way it was meant to be played. He slid headfirst into bases, crashed into the wall chasing fly balls, and generally hustled more than any other player on any of the teams (26) in the tournament. I knew this player in a casual way so I went up to him and said, "Mitch, you really came to play today!" I'll never forget his response — "Everybody here came to play. I came to win!" I think that there is much to be learned from this short exchange.
"Each morning is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When the sun rises tomorrow this day will be gone forever, in its place will be something you have left — may it be something good. Follow your heart, it knows what to do."
