“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. We can never be certain what the tour will bring, which is why it is critical to keep our attention focused in the present. When all of our energy is concentrated in the now, we have the ability to steer ourselves in any direction we choose.

One of the greatest challenges for most of us (and I’m challenged by this on a daily basis) is consistently mastering this 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 we have any control over is what we do right now, and that will profoundly affect how the tour develops.

Unless we are fully present in this moment, with all its challenges, it is unlikely that we will allow the unfolding of this tour in the manner that we desire AND deserve.

Plan for the future and learn from the past, but, as Garth Algar implored Wayne, “live in the now.”
