The Only Music You Control is Playing Now

Every memory you have and every key event marked in the record books has one thing in common with the events in your future. There isn’t an act, thought, or event that has taken place outside of the current moment.

When you graduated from high school it wasn’t “then” at the time, of course, it was the current now. Martin Luther King Jr’s speech, the first man walking on the moon, and fall of the Berlin Wall may be in the past as we speak, but they were instances that could only happen in the moment. Plenty of planning went in to each of those moments, too. Yet, they couldn’t have been executed ahead of time.

If you feel like you aren’t commanding your life with the authority and precision of a marching band, you’ll first need to realize that no action takes place in the past and no move is made in the future. You only dictate right now.
