What is your most ideal day? Do you know exactly how you want to live your life for the next five days, five weeks, five months, or five years? When was the last best day of your life? When is the next?
What does your most ideal day look like? Do you know precisely how you wish to spend the next five days, five weeks, five months, or even five years? When was the last truly wonderful day of your life? And when will the next one arrive?
The best day of our lives is today. The past is gone; we can no longer enjoy it. Dwell on the past and you waste the chance to savor the present. The future is merely a promise, a time that has not yet arrived, because all we truly have is today. When tomorrow comes, it ceases to be tomorrow; it becomes your today. You cannot enjoy tomorrow unless you first learn to enjoy your today. If you have thirty more years to live, you will experience 10,950 todays. Yet, every day that slips by unnoticed is a day subtracted from your life. With each new dawn, your life becomes one day shorter.
In our lives, today is the most beautiful. The past has faded, and we can no longer relive it. Dwelling on what is past only wastes the opportunity to enjoy the present. The future is a promise, a time not yet here, for what we possess is only the now. When tomorrow arrives, it will no longer be tomorrow; it will become your today. Only by learning how to cherish today can you learn how to enjoy tomorrow. If you have thirty years left, you will live through 10,950 todays. But every day that passes without your attention is a loss of one day from your life. Each new day marks a reduction in the remaining span of your life.
Each day is a decision to live. Today is a gift; this is why it is called the "present." How you use this day is entirely up to you. With each new day, you decide whether to unwrap that gift or let it sit in the corner until it spoils. Each day is a decision to live your ideal life.
Every day is a choice to live. Today is a gift, which is precisely why it is called the "present" (in English, "present" also means a gift). How you choose to spend this day is up to you. Each day, you must make a choice: do you unwrap the gift, or do you leave it in the corner to spoil? Every day is a decision toward living your ideal life.

What is your most ideal day? Do you know exactly how you want to live your life for the next five days, five weeks, five months or five years? When was the last best day of your life? When is the next?
The best day of our lives is today. The past is no longer here. We cannot enjoy it any longer. To dwell on the past is to waste the opportunity to enjoy the present. The future is a promise, a time that will not come because what we have is only today. When tomorrow comes, it will not be tomorrow any more; it becomes your today. You cannot enjoy tomorrow unless you know how to enjoy your today. If you are to live thirty more years, you are going to experience 10,950 todays. But every day that passes without your notice is a day cut off from your life. Your life is a day shorter every new day.
Each day is a decision to live. Today is a gift; this is why it is called the "present". How you use this day is up to you. At each new day, you decide whether to unwrap that gift, or let it stay in the corner and spoil. Each day is a decision to live your ideal life.
