Exhortation of the Dawn
Posted at 00:00 EST
Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!
Look to this Day!
For it is Life, the very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the
Verities and Realities of your Existence.
The Bliss of Growth,
The Glory of Action,
The Splendor of Beauty;
For Yesterday is but a Dream,
And To-morrow is only a Vision;
But To-day well lived makes
Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day!
Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!

Life In The Now
Posted at 23:00 EST
"Your life is right now!
It's not later!
It's not in that time of retirement.
It's not when the lover gets here.
It's not when you've moved into the new house.
It's not when you get the better job.
Your life is right now.
It will always be right now.
You might as well decide to start enjoying your life right now,
because it's not ever going to get better than right now—
