Carpe diem

It's funny how we worry so much about the future. I don't know if it's something from the youth, or human being, in a general sense. I just know that I always catch myself thinking, worring, wondering, planning, dreaming about the future. Why are we so anxious to live the future if we have the whole present to enjoy? The own noun explains itself: "present", that is, it is a present we receive from God every day.
And there is more. When we aren't thinking about the future, we are remembering the past. Regreting ourselves won't change what happened. It can help us to do things better in the future, or in the present, but the past won't be changed.
Why is it so hard to live the present? I wish I could see life in a whole new light by living one day at each time, living as if today was the last day, and being able to practice the so-called "carpe diem".

  2. I think future, and present are very important in our lives. If we make a bad decision in the present, we may regret it later. However, life is one, and we have to enjoy. Nothing guaratees will be allive tomorow.

    Enjoy Life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. I agree with Jhony, but it's really dificult to live present when we worry about the future...yes, the best way is to have goals, be careful with this, but don't worry too much, after all each day is only one day, is diferent of the others days and so we must live and feel diferent... as you wrote.
