Are You Living In A Future That Never Comes?

The grammar may be incorrect, but I think you know the meaning.
Enjoy the quotes!

Yesterday, I brought out a set of pillow cases that I had never opened. I had purchased them, on a whim, years ago to show the one I loved that I had in my mind thousand of kisses that I would give him – for we were engaged to be married. We married and I never opened the package, because I already had pillow cases that were nearly new on the bed. I thought we should use these new ones when the others wear out. What a silly idea!
When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us. ~Alexander Graham Bell

I heard again, the old saying to stop living for a future that may never come.
When I am anxious it is because I am living in the future. When I am depressed it is because I am living in the past. ~ Unknown

I thought long and hard about all the things that I do – for some future day – when everything will be perfect and just the way I dreamed they would be. Well, that day has still not arrived. Life is not perfect and life is not fair.
We are always getting ready to live but never living. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

The ideas I had and still have are great ideas. They bring a smile on my face. I want to live in that dream world. Then, I would feel like dancing under a wave of bright colors and a blue sky. Why don’t I just dance now, whether the atmosphere is good or unhappy? I have all this love and joy stored in my mind and heart; I need to bring it all out into the present.
Life lived for tomorrow will always be just a day away from being realized. ~Leo Buscaglia

The saying goes: Yesterday is the past, tomorrow is the future, and today is the present – live in it, it is a gift to you.
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. And today? Today is a gift. That's why we call it the present. ~Babatunde Olatunji

So, I brought out the pillowcases with the bright pink kisses on them. Yes, I was feeling silly, since I am older and I no longer need romance to be lighted with items I purchased -- to bring it forth. I can feel the joy of love just by looking at my husband and giving him a big kiss--myself. Although the pillow cases bring back early thought of love toward another, I can now enjoy those early thoughts again and again by sleeping on kisses of cloth with a smile on my face. Sort of, bringing back my youth.
Pile up too many tomorrows and you'll find that you've collected nothing but a bunch of empty yesterdays. ~The Music Man

I learned my lesson from that wise saying, the one who spoke the truth of life. Live it today, for your tomorrow may never come.
Nothing is worth more than this day. ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I will now bring new dishes out of the cupboard and use the good silverware even for hamburger night. All those special, long saved, items and ideas that I had so long ago – well, out they come. The tablecloths, the nick-knacks for the good housekeeping look in the magazines, yes, all of it.
The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time. ~Abraham Lincoln

I visited a woman who no longer had her spouse. She had lots of beautiful things displayed in her home. I commented about how beautiful everything was. Her reply was, yes, I got them out after he died and never put them away again. I’m now enjoying the living experience, with these precious things, that I wanted to share with him when he was alive. I have given away all those items that I was using until they wore out, like he wore out. I feel saddened and a little stupid for thinking life would go on and on, for the time to use all these nice things. She stated, “Never let your life imprison the excitement of living your dreams free.” “We only get one chance at this life.” “Live it well, truthful, peaceful, spiritual, and live it all, until you use it up!” “Paint if you will some day, cruise if you planned it, take that class at college that you wished you had, get that degree, make your promises real, and live with passion and creativity.” She had a tear fall from her eyes.
No man is rich enough to buy back his past. ~Oscar Wilde

I thanked her for her kind and valuable words to live by. I will never forget her – because she shared her love of life with me. I am now changing my life. I feel fantastic and free from those sayings: ‘maybe latter, “not now or not yet”. Out come the nice things. All around me are those saved things and ideas that will bring happiness and bright living with love to me and my family. I feel free and alive, at last. Now it’s your turn! Carpe Diem!
“Carpe diem! Rejoice while you are alive; enjoy the day; live life to the fullest; make the most of what you have. It is later than you think.” ~Horace
