Time Warp

"People who I hung around with ten years ago are still doing the same things today. They still frequent the same bars and still do the same silly things. I'm not sorry I did those sorts of things ten years ago but I've moved on they, on the other hand, have not. It sad really to see them, they haven't grown, I can't stand to be in their presence now".

This was quoted by a friend of mine recently when speaking about his life over the last decade or so. I've spoken about it also.

We all have significant events that happen to us, trouble is some of us cling to those things and so we become that event, we become known as that person who loves to party or whose parents split up when he was young or whose brother was killed tragically.
All these events are life changing but we have to move on, we have to stop being recognised as this person, and instead be recognised for who and what we are.

At 87, George Burns said "I look to the future because that's where I'm going to spend the rest of my life".
He lived to be 100.

Forget the past, significant though it may be.

Get on with living life now so you may make a better future.
