live each day as if...

I'm sure you've heard the quote, "Live each day as if it were your last". Today I heard someone on the radio say, "Live each day as if it were your first". It struck me. He was saying if you live everyday as if it were your last, that your entire experience that day would be overshadowed by the fact that at the end of the day, you're going to die. If you live everyday as if it were your first, you have no baggage, no preconceived notions, no expectations...just an entire day ahead of you, the first of many more. I like it.
