Simplified Meaning:
Life is unpredictable and we can't be sure about what will happen tomorrow or in the future. It suggests that instead of worrying about what might come, we should focus on enjoying and making the most out of the present moment. For example, imagine you keep putting off a trip you always wanted to take, thinking you'll do it next year, but unexpected things can crop up that might make it impossible. Instead, if you seize the opportunity and go now, you get to experience and enjoy it without regrets. This idea encourages people to take chances, do what makes them happy now, and not wait for a perfect time that may never come. By living in the moment, people can find more happiness and meaning in their daily lives.
