Beware of "The Good Old Days"

I hate “the good old days”.

When we look back and wistfully say “the good old days”

We are quietly saying, “It will never be that good again”.

Hanging on to a past that our mind “makes” picture perfect,

“The days of innocence”, “The best days of my life”,

Almost like a land of milk and honey!

The “good old days” is the enemy of “today”,

A memory to be cherished, but never to linger on in.

Today is our best life – and tomorrow better still,

So, plan, ideate, challenge, create, dream, do,

Fail, fall, dust yourself off, laugh, cry & sweat!

One life to live – with the unrelenting clock ticking on,

Don’t waste it on “the good old days” my friend.
