Carpe diem. Seize the day because
today is all you have. It’s really important not
to get hung up on the past or future too much. Don’t sweat the small stuff and
accomplish what you can do today. You should make everyday count, it can be
difficult, but if you don’t live everyday to the fullest (within reason) you’re
not really living. If you don’t take risks once in a while, you could miss out
on the best moments in life. Make life extraordinary. Even if you do something
out of the ordinary once in a while, it will make things better. Take a leap of
faith, try something new, take chances and live a life worth living.
“Time isn’t precious at all, because it
is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point
that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused
on time—past and future—the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing
there is.” –Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment. This quote says how one should live in the now. If you do this, you can
live the most efficient and enjoyable life you can. This is the epitome of the
phrase carpe diem, if you “live in the now” you are successfully seizing the
day.
