More than good memories

You’ll never exactly duplicate the good experiences of the past. Yet you’re always able to equal them or exceed them.

You can find plenty of inspiration in your positive memories. That inspiration from the past works to power new fulfilling times in the present.

Think of how good you continue to feel about some particularly memorable episode. Consider what you can do going forward to bring a similar level of enduring joy to yourself and others.

Your good memories are evidence of your skills at living well. Strengthen your connection to those skills and apply them to the world and the time you now inhabit.

The old days, old friends, and old situations may be gone. However, the goodness and values that fueled those treasured times are still available.

You know how great life can be when you embrace the positive possibilities. With that knowledge, continue in fresh new ways to make it so.
