This post doesn’t apply to everyone, specifically those experiencing loss or bereavement, but maybe it will in the future.
I have a habit of looking backwards in time and wishing I was in the good old days. When I was 20, I wished I could go back to my teens. When I was 30, I wished I could go back to when I was 20. I’m 35 now and I have a feeling when I am 40, I will wish for the life I have now.
So in short, there’s no time like the present. We don’t know how much time we have left so enjoy “the good old days” right now and make some memories.
The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago.
The second best time is now.
Well said
Yes, you can’t live in the past. Remember the past, live the present, and dream the futur.
And basically no matter how bored or stressed you are, if you have freedom, are able-bodied, and you and your loved ones aren’t currently sick or dying, these are the good days. This is it, enjoy it the best you can.
