What does it mean to “seize the day?”

Karen Loomis started us off with what that saying means at first blush – go as hard as you can and do all of the things. Hard driving, fast moving. All of it all of the time. Grab all the opportunities. But what if there aren’t opportunities to grab?

 

She added further into the conversation that it means letting go of your to-do list and doing the thing that is now or never.

 

Yonason Goldson said he used to be the kind of person who said no and then thought about the question. Then he realized he was missing out on things so he switched to saying yes and then thinking about it. That wasn’t the best option either. The ideal is somewhere in the middle.

 

Stewart Wiggins said he used to follow the “go forward as fast as you can, as hard as you can” idea of seizing the day. But now he has a more measured approach. Sometimes seizing the day means putting your feet up and letting the world happen around you.

 

I agree with all of those things. And I think there needs to be an addendum that says, “Do the things that make you happy and don’t feel guilty about it.”

 

What does it mean to you to “seize the day?”
