this moment is the only thing that matters.



Dan Millman: Life has just three rules? 
Socrates: And you already know them... 
Dan Millman: Paradox, humour, and change. 
Socrates: Paradox... 
Dan Millman: Life is a mystery. Don't waste time trying to figure it out. 
Socrates: Humour... 
Dan Millman: Keep a sense of humour, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure. 
Socrates: Change... 
Dan Millman: Know that nothing stays the same.
