Carpe Diem

If you haven't already noticed, for the last couple of years I have signed off almost every post with:

"Carpe Diem"

In case you didn't know, it means "seize the day" in Latin.

Why did I choose this phrase ? Because I think that this phrase applies to all of us. You never know what life has in store for you. Good or bad, you just don't know what lies ahead. That's why every day should be special. Even if you are having a shitty day or you just got some lousy news there is always someone else worse off than you. That's not to trivialize your pain or suffering but to try and keep all things in perspective. With certainty, we will all end up eventually with the same outcome - death. Sometimes it's sudden, sometimes it's tragic or slow and painful. That's why it's so important to enjoy every day. It doesn't mean skipping around the house whistling a happy tune all the time but just don't take too much for granted. Don't put things off.

Seize the Day.
