Most people treat life like a race to a destination. Work hard, climb the ladder, save for later. We’re told to keep pushing.... the big reward is coming. But here’s the uncomfortable truth… For many, “later” never arrives. And if it does, it’s often too late to dance. Alan Watts once said that existence is best understood by analogy with music. You don’t “work” the piano, you play it. Because the purpose of music isn’t to reach the final note. It’s to experience every sound along the way. Yet our system teaches us to chase milestones: School, job, promotion, retirement. Always waiting for the next step. And by the time we “arrive,” the music has already faded. If all we ever do is celebrate the end, we miss the entire point of the song. This short 3-minute clip from Alan Watts will either inspire you or unsettle you deeply... depending on how you’re living right now. Either way, it’s worth the listen. Because sometimes the reminder we need most isn’t to do more… It’s to pause, breathe, and remember to dance while the music’s playing. https://youtu.be/gTLYiOg9C6M?si=qOZqfHnDMPICsnQ_
