Your world is what you are in
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
«دُنياكَ ما أنتَ فيه» معناه: أن الدنيا التي تملكها حقيقةً هي حاضرك وما أنت فيه الآن؛ فلا تُعلِّق حياتك على المستقبل ولا تنشغل بما لم يحصل بعد.

وهناك مثل إنجليزي مشهور قريب جدًا من المعنى:
Make hay while the sun shines.
أي: «اغتنم الفرصة ما دامت متاحة»، لكنه يضيف معنى اغتنام الفرصة، بينما «دنياك ما أنت فيه» يركز أكثر على الحاضر الذي تعيشه الآن.
لذلك، إذا أردت أقرب مقابل مباشر وطبيعي:
Live in the present.
