Think about it: No matter who you are, the past plays a large part in your life. I am all about living in the present as best as I can. Try as I might, there is only so much I am able to achieve on this front.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Learn from the past, look to the future, but live in the present.
To transcend limitations and form positive new patterns of life based on who you know you can be rather than who you were yesterday, you must give up the modes of thinking, feeling and behaving that only keep you chained to your past.
You can't start changing things in your past. Everyone has challenges and lessons to learn - we wouldn't be who we are without them. I certainly wouldn't be who I am.
People who live in the past generally are afraid to compete in the present. I've got my faults, but living in the past is not one of them. There's no future in it.
Suddenly, you are very much in the present, and you learn it's really the place where you should always live.
My life is what it is, and I can't change it. I can change the future, but I can't do anything about the past.
We're all struggling to get out of the past. We see something that reminds us of something, and then we bring our baggage into the present. Then we project it onto people constantly.
My life is not just about the past.
When you realize the value of all life, you dwell less on what is past and concentrate more on the preservation of the future.
