10 motivational quotes that will inspire you to seize the day
These motivational quotes by famous people will help you take stock of your life and live in the moment.
The one important thing the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us is to “Seize the Day”. The phrase Carpe Diem holds a lot of importance, especially when we don’t know what tomorrow might bring.
What is the use of living a life of “What if’s”, “If only I could”, or worse still, one full of regrets? If there is the scope and will to do something, we must do it now. We forsake so many opportunities because we feel we do not have the time to pursue them or are simply too lazy to act upon them in the present.
While a forced introspection will allow us to better ourselves, it also offers a chance to help others in distress. No act, for social good, is big or small. Every thought and action counts. For, we are all in this together. And it’s only together, we can overcome it.
What’s that they say? You have but one life to live.
So, what are you waiting for? Make Carpe Diem your war cry. We present to you, a list of motivational quotes that will inspire you to seize the day!
