Have you ever noticed that the windshield is much bigger than the rear view mirror? It is all by design so that we focus on looking forward rather than behind us. Same thing is true for our life. Living your best life is designed to have your attention on the present and future rather than the past.
We all have known those people that constantly dwell and live in the past. They always have 20/20 hind site and their primary aim is always on the past. Remember when....If only I did....I should of done that...you know exactly the type of person I am talking about. Wasted energy is what I have to say about those people. What good does living your life in the past really do? You can't change any of it so why focus on it. That is not to say we should not learn from our past both success and failures. In fact we should grow and take those past lessons to improve. But don't make your life a journey down the road of what once was. Living in the rear view mirror causes you to miss to beauty of life's scenery today.
Live for today and tomorrow. Look out life's windshield and enjoy and grasp the current moments. The past is; well just that...the past. Let it go and focus on now! There is so much joy right now if you put your attention on it.
