Focus your energies on living Today

Planning for the future is essential, but that planning must occur in the present.
Worrying about the future serves no purpose.
Focus all your energies on living Today.

Life is Now

Life is now.
There was never a time when your life was not now,
nor will there ever be.
- Eckhart Tolle

Carpe Diem (Seize The Day)
Rejoice while you are alive; enjoy the day;
live life to the fullest;
make the most of what you have.
It is later than you think.
- Horace

"Seize The Day" (Carpe Diem) is sometimes interpreted as an invitation to party irresponsibly - without regard for the consequences. My interpretation of Carpe Diem is to seize the day in the sense of honoring the importance and sanctity of each day we live. It is so easy to delay the important parts of living until another day. But don't do that... Do something truly important Today.

Make Today count. Today - each Today - is the most important day of your life.

None is a failure who is enjoying life.
