Here is the translation for the Sanskrit prayer by Kalidasa, an Indian playwright and poet who was active during the 4th and 5th Century AD.
Look to this day,for it is life, the very breath of life.
In its brief course lie
all the realities of your existence;
the bliss of growth,
the glory of action,
the splendor of beauty.
For yesterday is only a dream,
and tomorrow is but a vision.
But today, well lived,
makes every yesterday a dream of happiness,
and every tomorrow
a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day.
So no matter how busy your day looks or feels like, take a deep breath and say this prayer in a mindful manner, focusing on every word and its meaning to you.
Let's get into the habit of living in the moment for the rest of our days!
