Hello Day Seizers! 

This blog is dedicated towards finding creative, experimental and fun ways to seize the day! I will be looking for and sharing interesting adventures to go on, great deals on cool trips, fitness/health ideas, unique experiences to try and generally awesome ways to live life to the full. 

I realized the importance of seizing the day after experiencing two things. First, I noticed that I was constantly living for tomorrow. I believed that “enjoying” life was something that was supposed to be put on hold until you achieved your goals and THEN you could be happy. In reality though, if I spent 10 years chasing a goal and hit it, then that’s great but those few moments of triumph are not worth it if I didn’t make the most of my ride there. 

Secondly, I stumbled across a great quote that I think is quite possibly the most important lesson from the history western literature: 

Gather ye rose-buds while ye may,

Old Time is still a-flying:

And this same flower that smiles today, 

Tomorrow will be dying. 

-Robert Herrick 

As you will probably notice, this is not the most flowery quote (bad pun intended). It made me realize how short our time here in life is and therefore, how important it is not to put life on hold but to live each day to the full. I believe living with this belief is paramount to an awesome life.

Carpe Diem!
