Seize the day.

Something so few people actually do. To wake up every morning and think to yourself “It’s a new day. It’s a fresh start. Yesterday is behind me and all that’s left is what I’m doing right now and how I’m going to live my life today.”

They always say “live everyday as if it were your last,” right? Now taking that too literally would be a bad idea- spending money you don’t have or something like that.

What I think it really means is this: Live like you’ve got nothing to lose with a certain level of control. Plan your future but never set it in stone. I write my future in the sand because I decide what it is and it can change by any small tide.

I want to be able to lie in my bed before I go to sleep every night and be able to ask myself “Did I seize the day today?” And know in my heart that I did.

Someday I’ll get there.
