When John began to ponder these questions: What have I done with the moments that have been given to me? What do I have to show for it? What lessons have I learned? What legacy will I leave behind, if any? Am I evolving or revolving? Have I squeezed the life out of the moments life has offered? ― he discovered that “great moments matter…and so do not-so-great moments, and small moments, and quiet moments, and life-changing moments, and shi**y moments, and of course, Kodak moments.” Out of his quest, Every Moment Matters: Savoring the Stuff of Life was born.
John offers Every Moment Matters as the antidote for a way out of the maze of materialism, media influence, and monetary madness by teaching us to notice ordinary moments, to remember them, to relive them, and to live in the present while creating future moments that have depth, meaning, and purpose.
“As I continue to be a keen observer of my own existence, one thing becomes crystal clear: while the journey has been one of discipline and self-examination, with some great success and even greater disappointments, my life (and I suspect yours, too) is filled with moments that changed me. They taught me something, made me stop alive in my tracks, had me catch my breath, or just plain made be glad to be alive or question my entire existence. While we can look to those moments as life altering, it is only upon further inspection that teachings come forth, the foundation upon which we build our tomorrows.” In Every Moment Matters, John demonstrates how to turn ordinary moments into extraordinary ones. Be still. Pay attention. Find the moments that matter.
