Terry Crews: “There is only now.”

Terry Crews at around 42-minutes into his interview with Tim Ferriss:

In order to do, you have to be.

And also:

You are what you are now. There is only now. This is all you have.

These quotes from Terry Crews have been burned into my brain ever since I listened to the podcast episode at the beginning of the year. The more you meditate on what he says the more you’ll understand it isn’t simply a clichéd saying, but reality. Go and listen to the entire thing but especially 42-minutes to 45-minutes.

Update 2026: I adjusted the timestamps mentioned in this post as they had changed from when I originally published. My guess is that ad lengths had changed since. I’m sure this will happen again so you might need to scrub around a little.
