Carpe Diem, a Latin phrase translated to mean Seize the Day. And most of the time when we hear Seize the Day, we envision ourselves jumping out of bed, arms reaching towards the sky, “I’m taking on the world - Living this day as though it’s my last!!”… We have all the energy to do all the things with all the people and then post all the photos to Social Media with the caption ‘Living My Best Life!
