Yesterday, or last year, or 10 years ago — you had a VISION of something you would ONE DAY do

One day meant next day or next month or next year

You did not do it

You are no longer going to do it

Likely it’s not even possible to do it now, 10 years later

But you held to that vision

You held to it reflexively

You FORGOT to update your inner TO-DO LIST

You forgot to change the status to OBSOLETE

 

And so you look back 10 years ago,

And you remember some of the things you were THEN going to do soon

And part of you is still waiting for you to do them, today

Even if it’s now utterly different reality

But you’re still evoking this very realistic THOUGHT-FEELING of what it is like to be DOING THAT THING SOON, the IMAGE of you doing that thing

That image has formed 10 years ago, but you have not updated it, nor gotten rid of it

So today you still can see the image and FEEL what it’s like to be doing that thing, which you intended to do 10 years ago

And therefore 10 years ago feels like yesterday

Because the same palpable vision you had 10 years ago you still store unchanged in your mind

 

What’s the conclusion, if there is any?

-You dream more than you live

You’ve more plans and ideas than you realise.

-You fail to let go of that which no longer is

 

What are the consequences?

Dreaming is of course not living. This requires no more explanation.

If you’re more interested in dreaming than leaving — dream on

If you want to live — dream less.

 

And failure of letting go?

Perhaps there’s regret and guilt, which are unproductive

Perhaps there’s nostalgia, which is a distraction

Perhaps there’s only the cute feeling of “it feels like it was yesterday”,

 

Next time it “feels like it was just yesterday” — consider what you want to do in life, what’s important, and what matters
