This Is Your LIfe

What are you doing today? What impact are you having? Is it just another day in cubicle city? Is it another afternoon staring out of a window at sunshine and warmth? Do you have an option? What are you doing about it?

How many examples of progress, of rags-to-riches do you need to see to finally decide to do something different? We all get caught in these comfortable routines. They're called ruts and the only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth of the whole you've dug. Do. Something. Productive. Don't look back on yesterday and say, "Wow, if I would have chosen to do a little more, I could have been there." Why can't you be the success story? Why can't you be the great overcomer? They don't erect statues to critics and they don't erect them to cheerleaders either.

This Is Your Life ~ Switchfoot
Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
Yesterday is a promise that youve broken
Dont close your eyes, dont close your eyes
This is your life and today is all youve got now
Yeah, and today is all youll ever have
Dont close your eyes
Dont close your eyes

This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

Yesterday is a kid in the corner
Yesterday is dead and over

This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

Dont close your eyes
Dont close your eyes
Dont close your eyes
Dont close your eyes

This is your life are you who you want to be
This is your life are you who you want to be

This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, are you who you want to be
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose

And you had everything to lose
