Two Words :: Seize Now

We've all heard the phrase 'carpe diem' or seize the day. Well I say why wait and seize the now.

The past is a history of actions and the future are actions not yet taken. The now moment, and it's fleeting, is the only time in which you can actually take action and do something tangible that has impact.

Sure, you can ponder the past which is a record of actions taken in long gone now moments, but you can do nothing to alter those. You can think about the future, but it's impossible to act in the future.

The flow of the future into the past happens right through the now moment; almost like a single picture frame with future frames pouring in from the right and departing just as fast to the left.

But within that single frame is your entire now moment. What are you going to do with now? Seize the now.
