Ecclesiastes 7:10 KJV
Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.
The mind has a way of painting the past as better than it really was, if we allow it to. Noone was born to be stagnant. Life is all about change, and with time comes both good and bad days. The more one romanticizes the past, the less one can appreciate and take full advantage of the present moment. “‘Remember where you came from’ is a reference point. It doesn’t mean ‘Stay where you came from'” (Michael David Cobb).
