This day could be your last

I am reading a really exceptional book at the moment, called 20,000 Days and Counting.



It's a work of Christian self-help, and is constructed in quite a post-modern way, but it's a terrific read, and really quite incredibly inspiring.
I discovered in it a quote from Emerson that I hadn't encountered before, and I thought I'd share it with you:

Ralph Waldo Emerson



"One of the illusions [of life] is that the present hour is not the critical , decisive hour. Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. No man has learned anything rightly until he knows that every day is Doomsday."

Ralph Waldo Emerson
