What’s your definition of ‘The Best Day’ ?. ~ author
Ralph Waldo Emerson writes,
“Finish every day and be done with it. For manners and for wise living it is a vice to remember. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it well and serenely, and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This day for all that is good and fair. It is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the rotten yesterdays.”
It has always been ‘forward’. It has always been about’the’ now and the ‘future’.
What you do today is always going to matter the most.
What you did will most certainly explain the bulk about your ‘current’ circumstance.
And, if you don’t have an aim, and you move with the wind of fate and luck, the ‘sleep-walking’ is obvious!
Treat each day as a miracle,
as an only day,
as your absolute existence.
Marcus Aurelius pens down,
“Concentrate every minute like a Roman— like a man— on doing what’s in front of you with precise and genuine seriousness, tenderly, willingly, with justice. And on freeing yourself from all other distractions. Yes, you can— if you do everything as if it were the last thing you were doing in your life, and stop being aimless, stop letting your emotions override what your mind tells you, stop being hypocritical, self-centered, irritable. You see how few things you have to do to live a satisfying and reverent life? If you can manage this, that’s all even the gods can ask of you.”
Let that sink in.
Namaste.
