Every morning when I awake, I have an irresistible sense of wonder… This could be the most amazing day EVER! And it’s true. Any day can be the start of a glorious chapter. But, by the same token, how often does a day get frittered away? Or it seems to drift from us. We don’t achieve the things that seemed possible. Again, the real goal is the breakthrough.
