Tabula Rasa Latin for "Blank Slate"

Today's Latin word or phrase for the day is Tabula Rasa or Blank Slate.

I am finding the Latin language to be very powerful. It is sometimes called a dead language because very few people in the world continue to speak it. It is also the language of spells and witch craft (If you're in to that sort of thing).

For me, I'm just fascinated by it. In case you haven't caught on my logo and the name for my blog posts was chosen because of what it means in Latin. "Tempus Neminem Manet " Time Waits for No One". This is how I live and this is how we should all live our lives. Not wasting time or taking things for granted but rather waking up everyday fresh ready to take on the world.

Let's say each day is an opportunity a "Blank Slate" if you will, our own personal Tabula Rasa. It is not to be squandered or taken lightly. Brush off all the yesterdays and look to the future, we can't change our past but we sure can learn from it.
