"Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero." Means "Seize the day, put no trust in the morrow."~Horace
We've all heard "Seize the day," but most people don't include the rest...which might be even more important. For several reasons.
"Put no trust in the morrow." Here's the deal. Tomorrow is promised to no one! But most of the time, we proceed as if we are going to live forever and never think about it. There's another quote that says "Put off until tomorrow only what you want to leave unfinished if you die tonight." (Or something like that) We are mortal beings and we can go at any time. Kind of makes you at some things differently, doesn't it.
"Seize the day." Be present now. Be in the moment, only in this moment and your world will expand exponentially. Most of us find it difficult to be in the moment, we are either thinking about what has already happened (and we can't do anything out) or thinking about what's to come (which we can only prepare for). When you are in the moment, you are truly living.
Know. Be Known. Make A Difference!

Invest In Your Future
"Every 15 minutes invested in your future is a deposit that will grow and compound over time. It may not seem like a big deal now -- whether you spend that time surfing the Internet or updating your Rolodex -- but in the long run, it will make all the difference in the world." ~Michael Masterson
We are all busy. We all have multiple responsibilities. But success is a result of your behavior. And the way you act when you have spare time is a crucial part of it.
Are you even investing 15 minutes a day in your future? Why not? It will grow and compound over time, but you have to start somewhere. Start with 15 minutes, start with 10 minutes, even 5 minutes but start investing something in your future.
The hardest part is simply starting, so just do it. What are you waiting for? Your future to come to you? It's not going to happen. Create your future. You can start with 5 minutes a day.
Carpe Diem
