Also enjoy tomorrow

Momentary pleasures are great, provided they don’t result in long-term burdens. If the cost lingers longer than the pleasure, it’s probably not worth it.

With each choice you make, consider more than just the immediate results. Though you cannot stop the future from coming, you can avoid making it needlessly burdensome.

No matter how much fun you have today, tomorrow will arrive precisely at its scheduled time. Position yourself so you can welcome it with eagerness rather than with regret.

Give your future self the benefit of your thoughtful consideration. Make your future self thankful for what you’re doing right now.

Yes, by all means live in the moment, making the most of your present opportunities. Just keep in mind there are many other moments to follow.

Enjoy today in such a way that enables you to also enjoy tomorrow. Be good to the person you’ll soon become.
