Non progredi est regredi (to not go forward is to go backward)
This is something I truly believe in. Life or rather time never waits for you, is simply keeps going forward, it will constantly be changing. And that is where Non progredi est regredi (to not go forward is to go backward) comes into play. Because if life keeps changing, and everything keeps going, and you stand there not going alone, you will be left behind. Non progredi est regredi (to not go forward is to go backward) means that if you are left behind, you are in essence going backwards. That is why its essential to keep improving yourself, and not get stuck in this mindstate that you know it all already. Non progredi est regredi (to not go forward is to go backward) doesnt just mean you should keep trying, it also means you shouldnt stop learning. You shouldnt just let your experience decide it all, instead you should try to look at it with some fresh eyes.
This of course could be a very difficult thing due to the fact that experience speaks volumes in some cases. And its hard to ignore something if you know it to be true. But even then you should or could at least try to use the motto Non progredi est regredi (to not go forward is to go backward) and see if you can find a new way of looking at it. Because if you dont, you can easily fall into that pit where everyday is the same, and it kind of kills the joy of living. So instead of just leaning on experience, and letting everything just go as it has, try to stir things up a bit and flip it around a bit.
