Meaning
Usually translated from the Latin as 'seize the day', or sometimes as 'enjoy the day, pluck the day when it is ripe'.
Origin
The origin source for the Latin phrase is Horace - in Odes Book I:
Dum loquimur, fugerit invida Aetas: carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero
which translates as:
While we're talking, envious time is fleeing: seize the day,
put no trust in the
future.
cool eh?
Sometimes we ponder upon the past.
Or wonder what'll take place in the future.
When in reality all we have to do is stay focused on the present!
No, I am not rejecting the idea of dreams and aspirations nor am I saying that you should never revisit your past.
It's just that the present is just so much more crucial, don't you think?
Peace.
