There are people who walk through life bitter, angry, negative, and full of hurt. Some even backstab or spread hate—just unhappy every day. Many tell themselves, “Tomorrow, I’ll try to be better.” But what if tomorrow never came? What if today was your last chance?

Join me as I talk about how to stop waiting for “someday” and start becoming a better person—today.
