CARPE DIEM

Do you remember the movie Dead Poets Society with Robin Williams? Robin, as teacher John Keating, is quirky and wise and one of the beautiful and memorable pieces of wisdom he shared was “carpe diem” or “seize the day”.

Seize the day…

We all have only 1440 minutes in a day. How are you spending these precious moments of your life?

Are you doing the things you enjoy?

Spending time with the people you love?

Noticing the beauty of all that is around you?

Are you writing your own story and living fully in this grand adventure of your life?

Watch this video The Jelly Bean Life for a beautiful reminder of how precious your days are. And remember – You don’t know how many jelly beans are left but you can choose to fully enjoy them.

WRITING & REFLECTION:

If you had only 365 jelly beans remaining, how would you spend your time?

What are you going to do with this precious day?
