This is the beginning of a new day.
I have been given this day to use as my will.
I can waste it, or use it for good.
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, not loss; good, not evil; success, not failure; in order that I shall not regret the price I have paid for it.
For the future is just a whole string of nows.
I thought this was said by one of (if not the most) influential person in my entire life.
Even though I did not know it very well, this saying was the closest thing I have had to true prayer.
Maybe that's because it's a positive saying that is productive in achieving a good self-image.
Even though she gave me a lot of grief, she gave me much of what is made of my self-image today, and I could never completely thank her for that.
I just think this is one of the best ways to look at life.
