The Greatest Contest of All

Imagine that you just won the following contest:
 
Each morning your bank would deposit $86,400 in your private bank account for your own use.   This prize has rules – actually two sets of rules.  
 
T
he first set of rules: 
1) Everything that you did not spend during each day would be automatically taken away from you. 
 
 2)  You may not transfer money into some other account. You can only spend it. 
 
 3) Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with another $86,400.00 for that day. 
 
The second set of rules: 

1) The bank can end the game without warning.  At any time it can say, "It's over, the game is over!"  
 
 2) It can close the account in an instant and you will not receive a new one. 
 
What would you personally do? You would buy anything and everything you wanted, right? Not only for yourself, but for all the people in your life, right? Maybe even for people you don't know, because you couldn't possibly spend it all on yourself and the people in your life, right? You would try to spend every single cent, and use it all up every day, right? 
 
Actually, this game is a reality, but not with money! 
 
Each of us is in possession of such a magical bank. We just don't seem to see it.  
 
 
The MAGICAL BANK is TIME! 
 
Each morning we awaken and receive 86,400 seconds as a gift of life, and when the day is done, any remaining time is gone and NOT credited to us. What we haven't lived up to that day is lost forever. Yesterday is forever gone.  
 
Each morning the account is refilled, but the magical bank can dissolve our account at any time....WITHOUT WARNING.  
 
SO, what will YOU do with your 86,400 seconds? Think about that, and always think of this: Enjoy every second of your life, because time races by so much quicker than we think. Take good care of yourself, and enjoy life. Live each day to the fullest, be kind to one another, and be forgiving. Harbor a positive attitude and always be the first to smile.

Here's wishing you a wonderful, beautiful day, each and every day!!!
