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…

Matthew 6:26 | #codeofthestreets: Everything you need is within arms reach; the key is to separate the needs from the wants. With a little #mindfulness, you shall hear wisdom crying out to the streets. When you become acquainted with the art of #stillness, you shall become awakened to the world and the universe shall bring forth the moments that you seek. –@StevieStreets

Strong Enough or Weak Enough

Tags

faith vs fate, mindfulness, stillness, strength, weakness

I’m not sure if I’ve ever been strong enough or weak enough to surrender…
but I’ve totally surrendered to God’s will for the first time in my life.

I have seen the unseen
and I have made the impossibles possible…
I have learned to adjust and adapt,
I understand that I must persistently pursue my plans
yet prepare for the unknowns in life.

I’m a risk taker…
However,
I’ve developed the discipline of taking calculated risk;
I’ve learned early in life:
“You can’t become skilled at gambling,
there are no skills to be acquired in games of chance.
There’s only two things to consider before you engage in a game of chance: 1. Know the odds
and 2. Never gamble with more than you’re willing to lose.”

I have never left the results of my life to chance,
I have developed the discipline of weighing the odds in every aspect of life;
when you possess passion and purpose,
you live with a sense of urgency…
every day is life or death in my life.

I have always wagered accountable actions to get what I desired in life,
I have taken calculated risk
and I tenaciously train to control the outcomes in my life.

I have adopted an expect nothing
and prepare for everything attitude.
I have learned to understand how the water cuts a rock.

I have studied the ant,
I have become mindful of the little things.
I have learned to understand why the eagles don’t flock.

I have never let chance control my fate…
I’ve never employed futile efforts of faith;
aint no half stepping,
when it comes to my beliefs.
I practice my principles to foster love, peace, and happiness.
I have learned to utilize my mind, body, and spirit to achieve favorable outcomes.

I have never put my faith at stake…
I have come to count on my moral compass to point me in the right direction;
my character will never lie in a chip on the craps table.
I will never pretend to be passionate,
my integrity is evident;
if the truth hurts,
my presence may represent a weapon.
I have learned “All the faith in the world is useless without the actualization of attainable actions;
I’m relentless on the road to rewarding results,
I am a go-getter – I do not wish for successful outcomes.”

I have come to understand,
surrendering is not giving in;
it’s more like being still long enough to unlock the power within.

I have come to understand,
surrendering is not giving in;
it’s more like being mindful of the doors that are being locked before you,
yet being still enough to remember you possess the keys of the world within.

I’m not sure if I’ve ever been strong enough or weak enough…
All I know is
“I am learning to let be.”

I’m not sure if I’ve ever been strong enough or weak enough…
What I know for sure is
“I’m learning,
everything is everything,
and everything will be.”

I’m not sure if I’m strong enough or weak enough…
Either way;
I WILL BE.

inner glow, mindfulness, smiles, stillness, sunshine

Feel what I feel, when I feel what I’m feeling… in The SUNSHINE! -Roy Ayers | #codeofthestreets: SUNSHINE… Everybody Loves The SUNSHINE

All it takes is a little mindfulness,
to radiate your inner glow.

When you discover the beauty in the moment,
love – peace – and happiness will consume the mind.

When you think beautiful thoughts,
your presence will become illuminant; luminous as the sunshine.

All it takes is a little stillness,
to cultivate your inner glow.

Each day blooms a beautiful surprise,
let your eyes exude the sunrise.

Never lose sight of your insight,
open your heart – open your mind.

Always remember,
peace of mind is buried within pieces of the mind.

Keep in mind;
where the mind lies, the heart soon arrives.

Forget tomorrow, forget yesterday;
all you have is this moment in time.

Don’t forget to smile,
your smile is as lovely as the sunshine…

And – everybody loves the sunshine.

Forget tomorrow, forget yesterday;
it’s a lovely day,
today is a beautiful day,
all we have is this moment in time.

Don’t forget to smile,
your smile speaks volumes to a beautiful soul;
one may surmise,
the are eyes are the windows of the soul…
yet I apprise – when you open your eyes to let the sun shine in,
your inner glow becomes brilliant as a diamond…
when you unlock the power within,
even the blind can see your inner shine shinnin’…
when you live life like it’s golden,
love – peace – and happiness become treasure troves illumined in the mind…
when your heart smiles, your eyes smile;
and – your smile – your smile becomes as lovely as the sunshine.

A smile does to the soul,
what the bee does to the flower…
exercise self-restraint,
to gain ultimate power…
forget tomorrow, forget yesterday;
all we have is this moment in time…
don’t forget to smile,
your smile is as lovely as the sunshine…
don’t be afraid to let your light shine on the world,
– everybody loves the sunshine.
