It is important to get a sense of accomplishment each and every day. By the way (digression already? You've barely made a single complete thought!), the words "each" and "every" have exactly the same meaning. Although they may inspire different feelings. I don't think it's obvious that they mean the same thing, but I am convinced of it. Let's check with my friend (and yours) dictionary.com, shall we?
Well, as adjectives, they are the same. But that's all. The word "each" can be used as a pronoun and an adverb (as in the following rather redundant example, "Each of them cost exactly 15 cents. They cost 15 cents each."). "Every", on the other hand, can only be used as an adjective (outside of a few idiomatic expressions), but can be used in more ways. Being each of a specified succession of objects or intervals (you wouldn't say "each three seats" for example), Being the highest degree or expression of ("He showed each intention of arriving on time.").
