A little while back I read The Grapes of Wrath, and like in many of the classics, I found a great nugget of advice. It was simple, easy advice, which to me meant it would be almost impossible to follow, but it’s stuck with me over the last few months and I wanted to share it with you.
To quote it directly from the book, I believe it is Ma who says, “Jus’ live the day. Don’ worry yaself.”
Just live the day.
As in, be here now.
Live this day. Right now.
Don’t live in the regrets of yesterday. Don’t live in the fears of tomorrow. Live this day. No matter where you are.
No matter if that means you need to go out and attack it, or if it means you need to stay home and rest.
Let this day serve you. Let it show you what it’s made of. Let it inspire you, let it heal you, let it show you joy you never imagined.
Find the wonders of this day, and don’t waste them thinking about a day you can’t get back or a day you can’t even reach yet.
This day is only going to happen once, so live in it and take it for all it’s worth.
Jus’ live the day. Don’ worry yaself.
