“Be your best today” is a statement about the present—not the past. Yesterday was. Today is. Carpe momento.
I prefer to consider the immediate present rather than more extended present (i.e., carpe momento rather than carpe diem). As new beginning need not be delayed. Growth and change can begin immediately and failings and be quickly left behind.
Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, and Social growth (“well-centered fitness”) is a process of personal growth that is rarely linear. In reality, “new beginnings” are less of beginnings and more of learning opportunities and stimuli for growth.
Yesterday was what it was. Learn from it. Grow from it. Let it go.
Be your best today; be better tomorrow.
Carpe momento!
