Seize the Day! Everyone says it, but it's much easier said than done. I think in order to seize the day, you have to live in the present, and on a surface level, everyone lives in the present but most people are concerned about preparing for whats to come; or reveling in what happened. There's a song called "I hope tomorrow is like today." In order to say that you are living in the moment, placing emphasis on enjoying the "Now" is essential. I believe it is important to embrace the things we have and by appreciating them in this way, not taking them for granted. We by our nature must plan and remember, but these thoughts of tomorrow and yesterday are thoughts we are having in the now.
Everyone is concerned about what the future holds and what the past has presented, myself included. By living in the present and not stressing constantly about the future outcomes of events or things that have already occurred which I could not effect I have become a happier and more enlightened person. Just by thinking positively and being outwardly happy, people have been nicer to me and picked up on it on a subconscious level. Its weird what a smile and hug can do for a person's day.
Meeting new people is always a good thing, but what's more interesting is meeting a new person that you have once known. There are certain constants that hold steady and this is the part of the person that is in your memory, but growing up and out and upside down, sideways and rightways, and all the complexities people come to develop are fascinating and exciting. Imagine meeting someone you used to know as playing Jenga backwards but with all new pieces and the old version of them is the tower that falls over, but the new schema of knowledge, information, and personality is the new tower, but since people always continue to grow you're always adding new pieces. I'm not sure if that makes sense to everyone or anyone; I am getting sleepy.... I hope I get to play reverse Jenga soon then I'll be better able to say what its like instead of juxtaposing imagination with anticipation.
