Have you ever wondered what happened to your good old self that used to excel in something? What happened to that writer in you? What happened to that bright mathematician? What happened to that budding musician?
Well, it’s because you stopped moving. You stopped writing. You stopped singing. You stopped doing what you were good at thinking that you’ll always remain good.
But life is about moving every day. The moment you stand still you start to die slowly. Just like a sword that isn’t kept sharp and clean rusts after a while, so do you.
So don’t start beating yourself as you reminisce about the good old days and what became of you. Instead wake up and start moving. Start sharpening your rusty blade as you used to do and you’ll regain your old self back and even be better.
Keep moving. Don’t stop no matter what.
