In the hope of doing, using, consuming something on a better day in future, you lose out on the best opportunities today. That dress won't be in fashion tomorrow. Wear it today. Feel good today. Eat that cheese-filled dish today. Tomorrow your stomach won't even be able to deal with it. Take that trip today. Tomorrow you won't have the time for it. Throw that party today. Tomorrow you won't have friends around to share the moments with. Wear that perfume today. Tomorrow you won’t even like its fragrance as much. Eat that chocolate today. It will expire by the time you go back to it. Express the love today. Life is short.
Go see the tiger. It might become extinct tomorrow. Climb that mountain now. Your knees might not be on your side tomorrow. Visit that far off destination today. Tomorrow there may be war. Have a baby today. Tomorrow you might go broke. Have all the sweets today. Teeth will decay with or without them.
Saving for a home or a rainy day is different.

You know, I always lived for friends, colleagues and a better tomorrow. Its so important to live for yourself too. Changed that. Been living for myself for a while. Its so much more important.
It is. And I am glad to hear that.
Cheers to a happier self! :)
I'm going to print this out and stick it up around places I frequent. So that I can be reminded of it more often.
It really is all about today. About seizing the moment. About not spending all the time worrying about the rains, but stepping out and standing in the warm Sun, when it does show itself.
Beautiful.
