Be it a new job, a new skill, a new idea, a new method, a new environment etc. they all bring the same feeling - the hope that they will be better than what we already have.
But sometimes, we bring the mindset of the old into the new instead of embracing it as it is forgetting that you cannot do the same thing over and over again but yet expect a different result (someone once said it is the definition of madness).
The truth is, you can’t reach for anything new if your hands are still filled with yesterday’s junks.
To enjoy the new, you have to open your mind to change, you have to let go of the habits and protocols that are contrary to the new. But then you will ask, where does my experience come to play?
The decision to let go of that which has completed its course in your experience is even more important than the decision to welcome new ideas.
You cannot walk forward by looking backward. New wine cannot be put into old bottles, for the Bibles states that the old bottles will break. Your experience helps you to know what had worked and what hasn’t, what should depart from your life and what should stay ~ Raymond Charles Barker.
Henry David once wrote “Never look back unless you are planning to go that way”. Look forward, for that is where you want to be .
The fact that you seek the new means the old hasn’t been all you wanted. Let go of the old and enjoy the new.
Happy Sunday!
I honour you!
