A Creed for Daily Life

My daughter's band director, Mrs. Patti Bennet, shares this quotation with her students every year. I was so inspired, that I wanted to share it with you. Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Read this. Repeat. I hope you find inspiration as I did. Thank you, Patti.

Pledge to Yourself

By Marva Collins
This day has been given to me fresh and clear.
I can use it or throw it away.
I promise I shall use this day to its fullest, realizing it can never come back again.
I realize this is my life to use or to throw away.

I am the only person who has the power to decide what I will be.

I make myself whatever I am.
