Like have a proactive day and wake up early to see the sunrise and so the morning can be longer. Be proactive and get things done early and don't procrastinate. It's better to do things early than late. Don't wait for someone to tell you to do it, you get up on your own and do it for you. If you wait to do things in the last minute you are not being proactive. You are in charge of each day and you choose how you want to live it. Don't wait to do it, do it in the moment because you choose to be happy or not. You have the power to change something to do it different.
