CARPE DIEM: SEIZE THE DAY.

So I was watching The Dead Poet's Society with my family tonight and its a great movie. If you haven't watched it lately, I highly suggest it. Anyway, its so inspiring to watch this movie and make the changes in your life to live the life you love. To make use of your time on earth, cause there's not really that much. Anyway, the movie, for those of you who are not familiar with it, has a sad ending. Tragic in fact. I cried for about half an hour after the movie. But here's the thing: it is possibly THE MOST inspirational movie ever. It's amazing. There's this fantastic message that comes from the English professor of this ivy league school [played by Robin Williams]. His message that he shares with all his students is "Carpe Diem" to "seize the day." His message is to use the time we have to do things we love and are passionate about. To not waste time being "normal" and trying to conform. So, although the movie is more or less a tragedy, I believe that the boys who changed their lives by seizing the day ended up getting more out of their lives than they would of had they not listened to this inspired English professor. I also believe this to be true of our own lives. Sure that may mean taking more risks, being called a freak, getting hurt. However, in the end, I believe that living this principle of "CARPE DIEM" will make all the difference. Always remember "Oh Captain, My Captain." SEIZE THE DAY! Do things you are passionate about, not things that will make you accepted in the world today. The Church is true! Carpe Diem. Until next time.
