“Just that dwelling and planning is bullshit,” he says. “You dwell on the past, you can’t move forward. Spend too much time planning for the future and you just push yourself backwards, or you stay stagnant in the same place all your life. Live in the moment, where everything is just right, take your time and limit your bad memories and you’ll get wherever it is you’re going a lot faster and with less bumps in the road along the way.”
A beautiful thought quoted from The Edge of Never by J.A. Redmerski. When I read this part, I just knew what the perfect song for this one is.
Living in the Moment
by Jason Mraz
Album: Love Is a Four Letter Word
"I will not waste my days
Making up all kinds of ways
To worry about all the things
That will not happen to me
So I just let go of what I know I don't know
And I know I'll only do this by
Living in the moment"
"I will not waste my days
Making up all kinds of ways
To worry about all the things
That will not happen to me
So I just let go of what I know I don't know
And I know I'll only do this by
Living in the moment"
This is a really beautiful song! It's currently my favorite, the reason why I immediately thought of it that time. And the feeling that came with it when I read that passage was so... It really made me happy. Just as the song did. And I appreciated it much more than before. The lyrics is beautiful and brilliant and the more I listen to the words, the more perfect it is for that book I'm reading and for everyone out there!
Living our life
Easy and breezy
With peace in my mind
With peace in my heart
Peace in my soul
Wherever I'm going, I'm already home
Living in the moment
Geez! :)
ReplyDeleteI am currently reading the Edge of Never and it has a slow start for me but I like the writing so I hope it goes well.
Thanks for dropping by my blog. :)
It was like that for me at first, too. But it's wonderful once you get to see it as a whole. I hope you enjoy it! :)
DeleteWhat a great song for that quote. I am going to read The edge of never soon. So excited.
