Quote by Steve Maraboli
Ideas and philosophies have a shelf-life. They must be kept fresh and renewed or they will spoil. If left unattended, the same ideas and philosophies that once nourished you and helped you grow can poison you and make you sick. Become aware of new ideas that can refresh your way of life and be open to the fact that your old ideas and philosophies can work for you for some time, but when the shelf-life has passed, those ideas and philosophies could also harm you.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the importance of updating and evolving one's ideas and philosophies. It suggests that just as food can spoil if not consumed in a timely manner, old ideas can also become rotten and detrimental if not revised or replaced. It encourages individuals to seek out new ideas that can rejuvenate their perspective and way of life. The quote also advises individuals to be mindful of the expiration date of their old ideas, acknowledging that they might have served them well in the past, but could now have negative implications.
