The Beatles: Rock & Roll Wisdom
“The magical mystery tour is coming to take you away”-The Beatles
Life is truly a magical mystery tour, unfolding one magical moment at a time. You can never be certain what the tour will bring, which is why it is so critical to keep your attention focused in the present. When all of your energy is concentrated in the now, you have the ability to steer yourself in whatever direction you choose.
One of the greatest challenges for most people is consistent mastery of the current moment. We tend to focus way too much attention on the future and the past. The magical mystery tour is a moment to moment excursion. The past is history, so let it go. The only thing you have any control over is what you do right now, and that will profoundly affect how the tour develops.
Embrace each and every moment of the magical mystery tour. Unless you are fully present in this moment, with all its challenges, it is unlikely that you will allow the unfolding of this tour in the manner that you desire and deserve.
Plan for the future and learn from the past, but live in the now.
And enjoy the ride.
