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 that I have paid for it.
I will try just for today, for you never fail until you stop trying.
