"How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives".
-Annie Dillard (American author)
This quote speaks to me.
I personally adhere to that thought (or try to in my best - or worst - of days)
It makes one aware of how crucial the present is and how every day is a pebble that you add to your non-linear path.
I find the quote very reassuring. Thinking day to day, and taking each day as an achievement in its own right takes off so much pressure. There's a saying in English, "Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves", I like to adapt this, "Look after the days, and the years will look after themselves".
