Why look behind you, you can't change it. Why fret over the future, it's not here. Why don't you live for today, and make it so wonderful it's worth remembering. (Nishan Panwar) Live each day as if it were your last because tomorrow may never come. (Anonymous) Stop thinking about the past, and don’t worry too much about what’s going to happen in the future. Your presence is a present, so live for today, and appreciate everyone and everything you have. Stop thinking about what you don’t have, what you wish you had, who walked out of your life, and whatever else that falls in that category. Think about what you have, who you have in your life, and how fortunate you are. (Junethea Crystal Centeno) Don't let your fear of the past affect the presence of your future. Live for what tomorrow has to bring, not what yesterday has taken away. (Anonymous) Make everyday count, appreciate and cherish every moment and grab everything you possibly can because you may never be able to experience it again. (Kemmy Nola) Remember to always say what you mean. If you love someone, tell them. Don't be afraid to express yourself. Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you. Because when you decide that it is the right time, it might be too late later. Seize the day. Never have regrets. And most importantly, stay close to your friends and family, for they have helped make you The person that you are today! (Anonymous) “The timeless in you is aware of life's timelessness. And knows that yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream.” (Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet) 281
“At any given moment the choice to be happy is present- we just have to choose to be happy.” (Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free) “Make the choice to embrace this day. Do not let your TODAY be stolen by the ghost of yesterday or the "To-Do" list of tomorrow! It’s inspiring to see all the wonderfully amazing things that can happen in a day in which you participate.” (Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free) So little girl now don't you run and hide. I know that you've been hurt before But don't you be afraid no more. Throw off the chains that bind And leave the past behind; When love comes knocking at your door. (Neil Sedaka and Carole Bayer - The Monkees) Sources: http://www.searchquotes.com/search/Live_For_Today_Because_T omorrow_May_Never_Come/1/ http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/today 282
