“Seize the day, trusting as little as possible to the future.” What does this mean? It means to do everything you can do today to make tomorrow better. It’s not about ignoring the future, but realizing that everything is just not going to work itself out for you later in the future.

So yes, if you do go out and live like there’s no tomorrow that actually might come true. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. That doesn’t mean to not go out and get all from life you can because it’s short. That’s great, but the way you do that is to make sure every day you did your damn best to prepare for tomorrow.

Then, eventually, you’ll realize your present now is better than what your present was last year. This is because you’re living for tomorrow to make the next today better.
