Remember those days when you were in school and had to
read Macbeth by the bard, William Shakespeare; you must be able to remember, at
least in part, this famous soliloquy:
There would have been a time for such a word.
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
If you can, then you can totally relate to what Katy
Huth Jones is saying within the poetry she’s included in this book. Life is too
brief to keep worrying to what has been, because there’s nothing we can do
about changing what has already happened. And we can’t worry about the future
either. Instead, we must look forward to each day has it comes and live it to
its fullest.
It’s nice looking back to the decisions we’ve made and
wonder what would have been if I had only done this instead of that, I know
because I’ve done it myself; and the chances are you’ve done it as well.
Furthermore, as I’ve already mentioned; try as we
might love to do, we can’t do anything about the future even it might be only
an hour, or better yet, the next minute; because some crazed idiot might decide
to drive by and shoot you as you walk down the road. And to go even further,
you can’t tell me what you’re thinking about RIGHT NOW because that now has
already passed.
Instead you must do what the quote the author uses on
the very first page of her book:
"Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."
From Horace's Odes
And seize each day, each minute and each second as
they come.
For telling the truth about what we need to do to live
life to its fullest, I’m happy to give Ms. Hunt and her book, 5 STARS.
I read this book via a KINDLE Unlimited download.
