Do you live for now, for the future, or a mix of the two?

Question

After 9/11 I wanted to live for the current day, I realised you could die today, and never see it coming, and let the future take care of itself. Now Im not so sure. What do you think?

Answer 1

A Mixture of both..

Answer 2

Yesterday is dead and gone, and Tomorrows out of sight, Live your Life for Today, and Hope that it's alright.

Answer 3

I think it live mostly for the future. which is probably not good.

im always worrying about what's going to happen and what to for the future. and i almost never focus on the now. which is why i always get myself into so many problems because i work on my problems of the now

Answer 4

Live for both. As we all have to take responsibility for the here and now and also that of our own future.

Answer 5

you can live for today but always remember what you do today has repercussions on tomorrow. My fiance is always saying "The decisions you make today will effect you five years from now." and its true whether we realize it or not every decision we make places us on a different path then we may have been just 5 minutes before hand. so you can live for today but just think, if you live to see tomorrow how would those decisions effect the life you continue on in?

Answer 6

I live for today, that's why I have a high credit card dept!

Mind you, my brother killed himself because of dept and when he died it was all written off, so maybe that's why I am like this now. I want to enjoy life before i die, the future will sort it's self out.

Answer 7

Live for today, with an eye to the future and a foot in the past.

Balance in all things.

Answer 8

I live for today!!!

Answer 9

I live for the now and not the future.  I can control what (to some degree) on what is going to happen to me today but it is out of my hands what is going to happen to me tomorrow.  So live life to the fullest.  Enjoy life and not take things too seriously.  

Answer 10

Remember the past , think about future but live in present

Answer 11

I live for both...I look forward to the future but I also enjoy the present. You only live once!
