Live the Moment

今を生きる (ima wo ikiru)

The Japanese phrase 今を生きる meaning "Live the Moment; Carpe Diem" is composed of the words (read ima) meaning "now; the present; just now", the grammatical element (read wo) which indicates the object of the verb, and the verb 生きる (read ikiru) meaning "to live; to exist".
