Good advice: never settle, never think you are a success

The best part I love about my life is that I’m always a beginner and always learning. I let everything be brand new each and every day.I come into every new day, and not know a damn thing about anything.

All my successes and great experiences are already over and gone. Why would I turn to them as traveling guides to a new experience??

It’s so incredible.

Every time I accomplish a goal, I never get comfortable, because THERE IS ALWAYS MORE.

I release everything from the past, and let it stay in the past. It cannot teach me anything new. How could it? Look at it. If you want to have a NEW experience, why would you turn to an OLD experience that worked yesterday for you? It logically doesn’t make any sense.

It’s old garbage.

Who cares if you won an Academy Award, or the Nobel Peace Prize, or the #1 spot on the New York Times bestseller list … what are you doing today?

Are you living in the glory of days gone by? Or are you standing at the edge of the world, seeing the majestic view in front of you?

The moment I think I know anything, or that I’ve arrived, or “made it”, then I am royally screwed, and holding myself static in a place where nothing new can occur.

I am constantly aware that today is the day that is full of jewels and new wonders and new experiences AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE!!

how marvelous!

It will be revealed. I stand in continual anticipation of new things to come, and as they come into my awareness, I let them pass also – WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE – always standing in constant anticipation, being in the flow of the adventure that is life. Every NEW MOMENT is over the moment it happens.

Your greatest success and your best achievement is old news. It’s a pile of dust. It has no meaning. Are you still standing in the glory of something that happened to you years ago? No wonder you feel stagnant.

Let everything go. Be a beginner every day.

Early on, as a child, I realized that there is always something new to learn.

ALWAYS.

I LOVE THIS QUOTE:

“In times of change learners inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.” – Eric Hoffer

I love that. Everything is changing so fast, the way people communicate, the way we live our lives, the way we think, our needs … that the only real way to stay up with the changes is to keep riding the wave. To keep flowing and watching and looking and observing and staying alert.
