Carpe Diem! Seize the Day!
We have all heard it a million times, but I attest it is NOT cliché! So why is it that so few of us actually do seize the day?
Perhaps this sounds familiar:
“I wish I could but…”
“There’s a better time, a different season, when things aren’t so hectic.”
“I’ll start Monday.”
Who are we kidding? Last time I checked, life is not slowing down any time soon. There will always be something that will interfere with us stepping up and dedicating ourselves to bring our dreams to life. If you subscribe to that line of thinking, all you’ll be left with is a nagging feeling, wondering where the time went.
Stop doubting your greatness and instead have the courage to acknowledge what you are or could be truly capable of. I do not believe any of our dreams are there just to taunt us. Rather they exist for us to grab onto and claim, and guide us to our true potential. And today is the day, to seize the day, to take that dream and put it into action!
“There is a difference between WISHING for a thing and being READY to receive it. No one is ready for a thing until he believes he can acquire it. The state of mind must be BELIEF, not mere hope or wish. Open-mindedness is essential for belief. Closed minds do not inspire faith, courage and belief.”
–“Think and Grow Rich”
It takes no more effort to aim high in life – to live your dreams and demand excellence – than is required to accept defeat and misery. Will you seize today, THIS day, to pursue your happiness, or will you make the choice to accept less? You know my advice: Carpe Diem!
Dream it. Live it. BE it!

Every day, all day with balance and peace of mind. Coming from the inside out without looking for outside relief from whatever life brings us, but fulfillment in knowing that calm before the storm must be a response coming from within. Simply
knowing that things will be great. Faith before substance. When your calm meets external calm…Enjoy!
