Today Is The Very First Day Of The Rest Of My Life

This is the beginning of a new day. I have been given this day to use as I WILL. I can waste it...or use it for good, But what I do today is important, Because I am exchanging a day of my life for it! When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever, Leaving in its place something that I have traded for it.
I want it to be gain, and not loss; Good and not evil; success and not failure;
In order that I shall not regret the price I have paid for it.
I will try just for today, for you never fail until you stop trying.

I saw this quote on a yellowed piece of paper taped to the inside of a kitchen cabinet at a house that was having an estate sale. It stuck with me and found myself thinking about it for a day or so. I went back to the house and they were finishing up. I explained to the lady about the quote and they gave me the piece of paper. It's framed and on my desk now.
