Stop Living in Your “Glory Days”

Want the fastest way to kill your future?

Keep living in your past.

Too many people reminisce and talk about who they used to be and what they used to do in their "glory days".

I'm talking about the prom queen.

The captain of the football team.

The Ivy League graduate.

The state finalist.

The employee of the month.

They fixate on all their wins from the past as if they have a single fucking thing to do with their future.

They don't.

You know what this actually is?

It's insecurity about who they are today disguised as pride.

...and it's the reason why most people never amount to much.

Quit replaying your wins from the past.

They will not carry you to your wins in the future.

If you aren't building the skills...

If you aren't showing up to compete...

If you aren't executing on your critical tasks...

If you aren't mastering your craft...

...and if you aren't committed to this process over the long-term...

You won't have another win to celebrate.

You'll have a life of regret to mourn and nothing left to point to other than the same stories nobody gives a fuck about.

Yesterday is irrelevant.

The only thing that matters is what you’re doing today in service of who you’re becoming and the wins you're working toward next.

Your best days are only behind you if you decide to live there.

Keep moving.
