make every second count, make use of time, the power of now

gentle reminder:
DO IT NOW!
Ask yourself
“What would I do if I only had the time?”
then START WHERE YOU STAND
in this moment and time.
THE TIME IS NOW!

Seize the Day revisited

carpe diem, make use of time, mindfulness, seize the day, the power of now

Someday is not on the calendar… 

all we have is today.
Stop and smell the flowers… 

be fully present – each second – each minute – each hour, today;

if nothing else, learn to cherish the day.
Don’t worry about tomorrow, forget about yesterday;

money has no value… time is the golden nugget of the day.
Do more of what you love… 

learn to make every second count today.
PRACTICE THE POWER OF NOW, 

learn to appreciate the beauty of life…

think happy thoughts, practice mindfulness today, 

spread your wings, give the sky a kiss today,

laugh harder, love longer,

eat more fruits, 

eat more veggies, 

drink water,

smile more, 

and let your inner glow beam like a sunray today.
Do more of what you love, today…

don’t worry about tomorrow, forget about yesterday.

Tomorrow doesn’t exist and yesterday is like a wilted flower;

yet life is for the living and nothing blooms better than today.
Stop and smell the flowers…

learn to appreciate the beauty of life today;

by all means, gather ye rose-buds while ye may.
Gather ye rose-buds while ye may…

Gather ye rose-buds while ye may…

Gather ye rose-buds while ye may…
Do more of what you love…

don’t just merely exist today.

Stop and smell the flowers…

learn to live today.
Stop and smell the flowers…

in the garden of life ye must plant seeds of joy

and spread love

like butterfly kisses while ye may.
Stop and smell the flowers…

walk on sunshine,

and live golden

like children that believe in dandelion wishes while ye may.
Stop and smell the flowers…

and gather ye rose-buds while ye may;

lest ye forget the most important day,

lest ye forget the most important day,

lest ye forget the most important day of your life is today.
Oh Captain, my Captain:

The most important day of your life is today…

The most important day of your life is today…

The most important day of your life is today…
Hope is not a strategy…

therefore you must command the day.

In the garden of life, time is like a beautiful flower;

and beautiful flowers always wilt away.
Life is no bed of roses…

yet ye must wake up and smell the roses each day.

In the garden of life ye must make use time,

Oh Captain, my Captain,

don’t let it wilt away.
Oh Captain, my Captain;

ye must stop and smell the flowers,

ye must gather ye roses while ye may.
Each day is granted twenty four hours…

yet ye may spend them how ye may.

Oh Captain, my Captain;

ye may live like the Dead Poets Society,

if you dare to Seize the Day.
If you dare to Seize the Day…

If you dare to Seize the Day…

If you dare to Seize the Day…
–@StevieStreets #carpediem| Seize the Day revisited
