Any time now...

Here is a little poem called “Now”

Look to this day!
For it is life, the very life of life.

For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision
But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness
And tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day!
Such is the salutation of dawn.
- -Kalidasa

Do you live in the past, with regrets and bitterness? Or, even to live with the happiest moment of your life, in the past. Perhaps you live in the future, always waiting for the arrival of your ship or your whatever. It is not that we don’t have memories, whether good or bad, or that we don’t have hopes and plans, but rather that we don’t take up residence in the past or the future. Today is the day of our life. To live there is wonderful compared to living in the past or the future. If today is not the happiest day of your life, when will it be. Today is the only day you have, use it wisely and rejoice in it.
