Ellen Langer says that:
If you make the moment matter, it all matters.
Does he simply means?:
If the moment is important, every moment matters.
The fuller text is:
It’s going to sound corny, but I believe it fully: Life consists only
of moments, nothing more than that. So if you make the moment matter,
it all matters. You can be mindful, you can be mindless. You can win,
you can lose. The worst case is to be mindless and lose. So when
you’re doing anything, be mindful, notice new things, make it
meaningful to you, and you’ll prosper.

They are saying that if all the little moments are good then all moments will be, in sum, good.
Alternatively, if each moment is bad, the whole thing is bad.
So if you make the moment matter (each and every moment), then life as a whole will matter.
