Life moves forward

New experience gives added value to old experience, and vice versa. Treasure them both in their own ways.

What you learn is always built on what you know. That’s good to consider especially when the new turns out to directly contradict the old.

In such a case, understand the old in a new light but resist the temptation to denigrate it. After all, it’s what got you where you are.

What you now know will someday be superseded, but that doesn’t mean it’s ever useless. Life moves forward when you go with what you have, and with respect from whence you’ve come.

At some point soon you’ll have to choose between the latest thing and the most life-affirming, enduring thing. Live your moments and deepen your perspective so you can make that choice wisely.

You have a past and you have a future. Keep them on friendly terms with each other, and they will both be good to you now.

— Ralph Marston
