"Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now take what's left, and live it properly." - Marcus Aurelius
We all struggle to “seize the day” in some aspect. Some may find it harder than others to do so, but at the end of the day, I'm sure everyone in some way struggles to seize it. We're all wrapped up in our futures. We're constantly thinking about the next few years than the right now. It's hard not to. Some people manage to live in the present, taking each day to do whatever, not thinking about the possible consequences of their choices. Or at least not overthinking it. Some people make it seem easier done than said. Living their best lives, their social media filled with today’s adventures and you wonder, how do they do it? Truth is, only they know. It’s a solution for everyone that differs for everyone. Taking life by the horns. In all facets that tackle you. Waking up and conquering the day. In a little field I recently became fond of, Neuroeconomics, studies have shown human behaviour is heavily linked to our economic states. Bringing brain development into practice with market development, this is one of the typical explanations for why we (for lack of a better term) fail to “seize the day”. Other factors such as fear, anxiety, and responsibilities come into play but more often than not, it’s due to a lack of resources. However, we can and must make the best of our circumstances or “make do” with what we have. “Seizing the day” is different for everyone, and just because someone else’s version of it seems more extravagant doesn’t mean you aren’t seizing your day.
