NOSTALGIA IS A DRAG!

NOSTALGIA IS A DRAG !
We all like to think of the past, the good old days. Whether it’s the time before advanced technology or comparing your childhood to kids of today.

Remembering the past can bring the most pleasant memories and sometimes you may like it to the point where all you do is dream of how things used to be.

I live for the consistency of routine and comfort. I get it, but if there is one thing I have come to realise is that feeling nostalgic of your past is doing you no favours.

“Nostalgia is a drag, dragging you down to an endless wonder”.

Wishful thinking and feeling nostalgic are all great only if you are where you want to be. If you are, then that’s great; you are lucky to have the pleasure to enjoying your present as well reflect on your past. But if you are one of the many who are not where you want to be in life, then don’t delude yourself in thinking the past was great. The fact you are breathing and still alive now gives you the opportunity to make a change. Change what you don’t like, make an action plan. People say this is easier said than done, but if you keep giving excuses of why it’s hard to make a change, does that help in you actually making a change? And the answer is NO.

So let go of the rope that is tied to your leg called nostalgia dragging you down. If you are happy then continue living like it. However, if you are not then do something about it. It may take awhile to achieve what you want. Persistence and hard work will always pay off in some form or another. Don’t let yourself be fooled by the black hole called nostalgia; it will be hard to find your way out from a delusional bliss.
