Expect The Unexpected
“Whatever can happen at any time can happen today.”
—Seneca
Letters From A Stoic
So often do we tell ourselves "someday" or "later" as we procrastinate on what truly matters.
Seneca's words serve as a potent reminder that life doesn't wait for our perfect moment. Each task or dream we delay could well be faced today, whether we're ready or not.
What are you postponing for tomorrow that could—and maybe should—be tackled right now? By recognizing that anything possible in the future is equally possible today, we're nudged to live more urgently, with a sharper focus on the present.
Let's consider how this applies to the little things in life—a coffee with an old friend, starting that book on your nightstand, or taking a moment for a deep breath of fresh air.
Life’s smaller pleasures and our personal goals deserve today’s attention, not just a slot in our future plans. If we treat each opportunity and task as though it might not come around again, we breathe more life into our days.
So what will you choose to seize today, acknowledging that it's as available now as it ever could be?
