Look to this day
for it is life.
The very life of life.
In its brief course lie all
the realities and truth
of existence…
The joy of growth,
The splendour of action.
The glory of power.

For yesterday is
but a memory.
And tomorrow is
only a vision.

But today well lived
makes every yesterday
a memory of happiness.
And every tomorrow
a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore,
to this day!

- Ancient Sanskrit poem
