Carpe diem. Again.

One of my earliest postings. I just feel like posting it again, because it holds so much truth. Besides, I seem to be  forgetting it myself.  "Carpe diem, or seize the day. Life is short. It’s something you realize when you lose somebody close to you. Then it hits home hardest. Most of the time you live your life not really conscious of the fact that life ends at a certain time. Deep down you know it of course, you just don’t want to think about it. It’s a fact of life. Carpe diem in my view means, that you should live your life to the fullest, every day can be your last. It doesn’t necessarily mean, that you have to indulge your every wish, you have to be responsible too, you have to be compassionate.  Above all you have to enjoy  life. Every day again. It also doesn’t mean you have to quit your job and just do the fun stuff. Care about people around you and care about yourself. Don’t let life pass you by, you are the one that holds the reigns. Be prepared to say no at times when it conflicts with your own interests. You’ve only got this one life, you know. Use it well."
