Focus on the past keeps you from moving forward towards a better future. The past can hurt but it can not be changed, no matter how badly you woukld like to modify it.
Enjoy the power of here and now and live in the present in order to find happiness. Your conscious should be focused on the here and now.
The past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or learn from it.
The past and the future are like illusions. They are in your mind. However, the past no longer exists and the future has yet to be created.
The truth is that tomorrow never really arrives, since it is simply a concept we have in order to understand the passing of time. Time is always now, this precise moment.
If you do not live in the present, it is because you are living in an illusion. How many times have you worried about things still uncertain whether they would actually happen?
How many times have you blamed yourself for mistakes you committed, no matter how long ago it was?
If you have done this too many times, it is because you feel trapped in the illusions of the past and future.
Living in the present will help you improve your emotional well-being, and also improve you physical health.
When you live in the present and make peace with your past and do not try to control the future, you will be living in a place of acceptance.
You will start to accept life the way it is now. Not how you would like it to be.
When you live in acceptance, you will see things for what they are.
You will be able to forgive yourself for the mistakes you have made in the past and will be able to find peace in your heart knowing that what must happen, will happen.
Live in peace with your past and in a better future, accept the reality you have today.
If you need to make changes in your life for the better, do not wait any longer; make those changes right now. Only when you start to move forward will you find your way.
If you are living in the past, you know that you can not do anything to change it.
If you only worry about the future, you know there is nothing you can do to improve it unless you do it now, in the present.
