“And I hope when I get old I don’t sit around thinking about it
but I probably will
Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture
a little of the glory of, well time slips away
and leaves you with nothing mister but
boring stories of glory days….”

“I was thinking about your post the other day regarding never looking back. Clearly I have time in the day to think about such things. It strikes me as interesting that although you were left with a slightly soured memory by bumping into that friend, surely by the nature of the other half of your job as author, speaker and motivator you are continually forced to look back as a means to go forward with other projects such as South. How does this fit in with the principle that I tend to agree with as well of not looking back, or as suggested in the poem reflecting too much in the past?

I’m a bit late on the take up here but I love this post.

It got me thinking about how a similar principle might apply to other things – places that aren’t the same when you go back, songs you love until you overplay them and food that isn’t as sweet the second time around.

I’d not had the guts to think about it applying to people before. Great stuff.

Tim.
