Seize the moment refers to the present tense and encourages you to remove your focus from the past to the here and now and take opportunities as they arise.

It is also telling you not to let things be and hope the future will be ok, by seizing opportunities when they arise you are creating your own future.

Carpe Diem

The origins of seize the moment was Carpe Diem a Latin phrase that translates as 'seize the day' and it was taken from the poem 'Odes' which was written by Roman poet Quintus Horatius Flaccus or more commonly known as Horace.

How many people look back at their lives and say 'if only'? Looking back with regret of missed opportunities is a lesson for all that when certain moments appear in your life you have to take risks and go for it.

If Christopher Columbus was not prepared to lose sight of the shore he never would have done the unthinkable and crossed the Atlantic.

Taking control of your life is all about creating your own luck by working hard and by doing this the opportunities will soon come, but, you must be prepared to take a risk to be able to seize the moment and really take control of your life.
