The Past

Everybody has a past.  For some it may be glorious for others it may be something they would like to forget.  Either way you can’t live in the past, you can use past experiences to either provide inspiration and proof that you can achieve or you can use them as a warning of danger or past failures.  The choice is yours.

The following quote from Roy T Bennett puts the past very well :

“The past is a place of reference, not a place of residence; the past is a place of learning, not a place of living.”

Don’t live in the past, live for today.

Only look back to see how far you’ve come

Live your life in the present.  Not in the past or the future.  Looking back may only lead to regret while looking to the future may fill you with fear of what is to come.  That said looking back does serve a purpose as it will show you how much you’ve achieved in your life and how far you’ve really come.
