"Living in the Moment" by Jason Mraz

The song "Living in the Moment" by Jason Mraz is a song about living life in the moment, and not worrying about the future. In the song he says:

I'm living in the moment
I'm living my life
Just taking it easy
With peace in my mind
Got peace in my heart
Got peace in my soul


He has peace by just living life when it comes, and taking it easy. This relates to the ideas of transcendentalism and specifically the writing of Thoreau in "Walden". Thoreau writes "Why should we live with such hurry and waste of life?" People get too caught up in the future, and lose their sense of what is actually happening in their lives, Thoreau and Mraz address this, and challenge people to live life in a way that they can live in the moment, and not worry about what the future might bring.
