Letting go of past glory

I believe in most of us, one of the main goal in life is to collect as many glorious moments as possible. Glorious moments may vary differently from one individual to another. They can be winning a prestigious awards, getting a promotion, winning a lottery, overcoming major obstacles, finding a life-long partner, and etc. However, to many of us, failure and rejection usually appear more often than the glorious ones. And then we start to keep replaying the glorious moments that had happened in the past. We begin to indulge and overwhelm ourselves with those past glorious. We start to feel proud of ourselves. In a way it gives us confidence that "hey, I have done it before, I can achieve it again". Yet, the big BUT is we have to learn to treat those glorious moments as a rewarding memories of the past and keep on moving. The urge to keep pressing on toward a new goal must never die. Do not let those pride of past glorious becoming a pseudo-solution for any disappointment and failures that we face along the way to achieve our new goal.

Learn to let go of the past glory, and strive forward for a new glory.
