Post 1,023: A Respect for Now
I recently wrote, “Don’t believe my past self over my present self.” I thought it would be useful to go deeper on what I meant.
I have had profound moments in my life where I have made powerful decisions based on incredibly good experiences or deeply affecting trauma I have experienced. Just because the Ryan of the past believed something so deeply doesn’t mean the Ryan of right now has to agree. In fact, I think it is vitally important to listen to the Ryan of right now because he is not the Ryan of the past. I’m different now. Even in the two seconds it takes to read this sentence, I have had new experiences I did not have two seconds ago.
Honor the decisions of the past. Just don’t forget to deal with reality now.
