Carpe Diem⠀
⠀
I’m sure you’ve heard or seen the Latin Phrase Carpe Diem before…⠀
⠀
Meaning Seize the day…⠀
⠀
You may have even posted it along with other quotes like ‘Live Love Life’⠀
⠀
Yet Do We Ever Actually Sieze the Day?⠀
⠀
We hit the snooze button, rush to work, Hang around the coffee machine, do the easy work, Go home and put our feet up…⠀
⠀
Of course, I’m generalising here but we don’t do the Important stuff…⠀
⠀
Even worse is we tell ourselves lies about doing the important stuff…⠀
⠀
We never say ‘I’m not going to join the gym’ Or ‘I’m not going to quit smoking’⠀
⠀
We lie we tell ourselves that we will do (Insert important thing here) but we will do it tomorrow…⠀
⠀
‘The greatest obstacle to living is expectancy, which hangs upon tomorrow and loses today’ – Seneca⠀
⠀
We snatch away the present moment by promising ourselves a future where we can do all that stuff…⠀
⠀
But that future is uncertain, Its not promised.⠀
⠀
Thats why there is no better time to act than now…⠀
⠀
Seize the day…⠀
⠀
Do the Work.⠀
