171026 - Throwback Thursday

Carpe Diem- an admonition to seize (or more literally pluck) the day, the phrase is attributed to Horace and was popularized by the movie Dead Poets Society, and terrible freehand script tattoos on a generation of college students and hipsters. 

I came to the realization that I personally have not been doing that for some time now. 

I've never been afraid to die, but I've become afraid to live. 

I stay in. I've stopped doing things remotely challenging and dangerous. 
I don't go on adventures. When I take road trips, they're well within a day's return distance. 
I no longer take risks. I don't know when the change happened. Has it been recent, or has it been years? 
How do I change this? What happened to burn out rather than fade away? 

What have you stopped doing because of unfounded fears?

What can you do to seize the day today?
