Think Or Be In The Moment?

[the dreamer]

i don't understand, if i want to help myself and understand the world and know what's the purpose of life, should i think about it or just be in the moment? 

[Voytek]

Of course you should think about it and focus on what makes you 'you' but when you become tired or dreary then it's time to switch to something else, or a task that requires doing something without much thought like yard work or a stroll. And in those moments of 'chopping wood and carrying water' you will come to more conclusions for things you thought about before.

what if "your" thinking was already in this moment?
