    If there is one reason to wake up with determination and go to bed with satisfaction, it’s this: If you live your life in any other way, you will regret it.
    Regret stays with you. It poisons you. It drags you down. You might go to bed one day with regret and not wake up. Regret is the last feeling you want to feel when you have only one feeling left to feel.
    You need to wake up with determination and do all you possibly can to go to sleep with satisfaction; it’s the only way to keep yourself in the right frame of mind. Define your life on your terms, be proud to have lived the life you lived.  ~Dani Johnson~
