About this Quote

This quote by Wayne Shorter speaks to the significance of living in the present moment. The past is a memory, and the future is a dream, however the only real, lively, and imaginative minute is the one we are living in today. It is simple to get captured up in the nostalgia of the previous or the anticipation of the future, but neither of these moments are concrete. The only thing that is genuine is today moment. By focusing on today, we can maximize our lives and create meaningful experiences. We can also put in the time to value the appeal of the world around us and individuals in our lives. By living in today, we can take advantage of our lives and develop a life that has plenty of delight and purpose.
