It's Axiomatic
An axiom I heard once states:
If you always do
What you've always done,
Then you'll always get
What you always got.
To paraphrase and reiterate:
What's worse,
Waking up one morning
And realizing you're not
What you hoped you'd be,
Or realizing you still are
What you always were?
Tack on this wisdom to round out the plot:
You can only do the best you can,
So remember as you start each day,
Tomorrow hasn't happened yet,
And yesterday is best forgot.
