"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.
Action:
"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 about) 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!

Do You Live or Exist?
"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, and that is all."~ Oscar Wilde
Are you just existing? With the recent tragedy in Tucson, now is a good time to take a look at your life...because most of us are just existing. Here's the part that most of us miss, tomorrow is promised to no one. Yet we live our lives like we will never die and that we have all the time in the world to do what we are here to do! Is that you? I hope not and if it is, now is the time to realize that you can change those thoughts. NOW!!
Walter Hagen said "You're only here for a short visit. Don't hurry. Don't worry. And be sure to smell the flowers along the way." Don't hurry. We have become a society that needs immediate actions and answers. Don't worry. We have become a society where stress and worry have become an epidemic. Start enjoying your life now. Stop complaining, bitching and moaning. "You are only here for a short time."
