CARPE DIEM: Seize the Day
Today I asked myself…What is the formula for unhappiness?
Always seeking, never finding. Always learning, never knowing.
To find it is to know it. To know it is to live it. Simple.
If that’s so, then why do we struggle to be happy?
Your life doesn’t contradict your words or circumstances. What you live is what you know for sure…
Do you like what you see? The stories you tell?
No excuses, no regrets, no illusions. These are what you must eliminate.
What will you find after this process of negation?
Consider yourself as a work in progress.
Progress is something colored beautiful.
The greater part of progress is the desire to progress.
Seneca
Carpe Diem.
