![]() It’s a kind of mad bonding thing you do from time to time in your life. She previously claimed that she had tattoo done while ‘very drunk’ when acting with an American Indian theatre group in Minnesota as a young woman.ĭame Helen explained: ‘About six of us got them at the same time. Other veteran actresses with tattoos include Dame Helen Mirren, aged 70, who has been inked with interlocking Vs on her left hand. There’s an Indian symbol that I like which supposedly represents life and love and everything.’ Talking to Good Housekeeping magazine in 2015, she said: ‘I am tempted to have a tattoo to mark my birthday. She unveiled her tattoo in an appearance at Chelsea Flower Show last month (pictured)ĭame Judi has previously expressed an interest in having a tattoo. ‘And if you give up on one thing then it seems to me that you might as well give up another and so on, when it’s so much better to keep the mind active.’ĭame Judi also hinted that while the tattoo showed her determination to remain young she admitted that the effects of age were also catching up with her. I see it as a step back in a way, a step down. She said: ‘It’s an awful word retirement. With the typical pluck that exemplified her performances as M in the James Bond films, Dame Judi refused to consider retirement and claimed that she fully intended on carrying on with acting. ‘On my scripts, my font is point-size 22, so you can imagine… It’s ridiculous, it’s a farce but I’m not going to give in.’ I have macular degeneration but you just have to settle for it.

Do not let opportunity pass you by - go out and look for how you can positively impact your life and others!Ĭheers to remembering to “Carpe diem.” Seize the day + Seize the opportunity.Nice idea: The block text was clear to see as she shook hands Live for today, fight your fears, and even take that risk you have always been considering! Don’t be paralyzed by fear and too hyper-focus on how it will affect your future that you just don't do it. You never know what the next day can bring, and you do not want to have your future self saying "Oh, I regret that I never did that" or "I wish.". Live your life to its fullest potential, and take nothing for granted. ![]() However, just know, that even though it may be interpreted differently by all, at the end of the day, all of the meanings line up. So, with all of this said, take the meaning of Carpe Diem as you wish. So, do yourself a favor (at least once in awhile) pause your thoughts about what's to come, and just live in the moment. You will regret it when you are looking back from the future, seeing all the fun times that you missed out on. If we are constantly thinking about our futures and what to do now to make sure that you are prepared for the future, you aren't going to make any new memories. If you don't live in the present time and truly live in each moment of your day, you are going to miss out on so much more than you think.Įvery day is a different opportunity to learn something new and make new memories. However, you have to also focus on the here and now. I am not saying that it is not important to think about the future - it is certainly justified and necessary. I'm sure that I am not the only one who is guilty of focusing on the future, right?! Whether it be constantly, or a majority of the time, I can’t help but have my thoughts occupied in what’s to come. Carpe Diem by definition means to “make the most of the present time and give little thought to the future,” or originally defined as “Seize the Day”.Ĭhoosing this tattoo meant a lot to me, because there are many times in my life that I catch myself ignoring the present - focusing solely on the future and what needs to happen in order to make that happen.
