Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Jim Rohn
... every time we banish negligence and force ourselves to do the work we should with diligence, Angels in heaven prepare for us the crown of a glorious victory; and that, on the contrary, not only has God no crowns for the negligent, but that little by little He takes back from them the gifts He had bestowed upon them for their former diligence in His service, and will finally deprive them of His kingdom if they continue to be negligent...
Lorenzo Scupoli (Unseen Warfare: Chapter 20)
