Live in the present, learn from the past and plan for the future.
Making the most out of the present is the most appropriate way to live, and to make the most out of the present, you must learn to avoid hitches and focus only on those things that count in life's pursuit.
In everyone's life journey, there is always a past, the present, and the future. Learning how to appropriately handle each phase will help you live a happier and more productive life. A lot of people through worrying about the past or the future waste time and energy they could have been used for something useful in the present.
Recently, a story of someone who committed suicide went viral on Facebook. She killed herself because her past was revealed by a malicious person on social media. The fact that she committed suicide will not erase the story. The truth is, nothing you ever do can change the past. But the past can be used as a great resource for shaping our lives, remolding our characters and building our dreams.
Live in the present. It is important. Make the most of the present. Manage your present time and energy well. Don't waste it worrying or complaining over what is in the past or future. Any time or energy wasted cannot be retrieved. Instead of worrying about the past, study it and learn from it. The same thing applies to the future. Plan ahead of time for the future. Stop worrying about future uncertainties. Worries and fears can solve nothing, but planning ahead of time can give you the type of future you envisage. It is also important not to focus too much on the future so you don't neglect things in the now.
Remember that everything you're doing now will soon be counted as the past and the future will become the present.
Much love from me to y'all.
