could do worse than starting with the OG 'seize the day': Seneca's “On the Shortness of Life”

author was probably a hypocrite but at least you can feel good while reading it

Check out James Allen. He's got a whole set called Mind Is The Master. Here's a quote:

"The foolish man, loving the boggy side-path of procrastination rather than the firm Highway of Present Effort, says, "I will rise early to-morrow; I will get out of debt to-morrow; I will carry out my intentions to-morrow." But the wise man, realizing the momentous import of the Eternal Now, rises early to-day; keeps out of debt to-day; carries out his intentions to-day; and so never departs from strength and peace and ripe accomplishment."

Seize the Day by Bellow is probably what you're looking for.
