BE PRESENT-- that's it. Just BE PRESENT. Acknowledge the here and now- live in the here and now- BE PRESENT! My Dad told me years ago-- "there's a reason the rear view mirror is smaller than the windshield" What is most important lies ahead-- I would add to that-- it also exists in the HERE AND NOW! GREAT post, Darren! Love it... The best advice I was ever given came just recently… simple- succinct & poignant.
BE PRESENT– that’s it. Just BE PRESENT. Acknowledge the here and now- live in the here and now- BE PRESENT!

My Dad told me years ago– “there’s a reason the rear view mirror is smaller than the windshield” What is most important lies ahead– I would add to that– it also exists in the HERE AND NOW! GREAT post, Darren! Love it…

We need to focus on who we are and what we do now, not yesterday or last week, or last year. i can learn lessons, but i cannot base my life on what i did excellent post Just a thought…. now is constantly on the move. what i do now, tomorrow will not be now, it will be history.

It is so TRUE!! I started laughing when I read it...but the reality is that it can be hazardous to your life if you are always looking back at what yesterday wasn't. T.G. I am one of those 'been there, done that' and now what's next, kinda people. Maybe that's the Saggitarius in me....who knows. I never make the same mistake twice because I learned and grew from every mistake I ever made. Isn't that what mistakes are for? I mean what else would we do with them? My past is like a reference library for me. I go there a few times a day and sometimes more but most of the books I ever want to read are the ones that make me smile. Sure, there's lot's of junk there too but what is the point of spending time reading a sucky novel? Before I ever look in my rearview mirror, I ALWAYS check to see what is in front of me. I have made that mistake too where I took my eyes off the road and never again! What a great article title. It is so TRUE!!

Time is always marching creating new opportunities! Successful people board on the time train and grab every new opportunity it offers. I would keep the article in my in-tray for a quick glance early in the morning. It will give me inspiration for the day’s work. However, I think, we should sometimes give a quick glance in the “back mirror” like a vigilant driver. It would give us a chance to rectify our past mistakes, while concentrating the future.

I definately have family members like that, what I do is love them from afar. My belief on past is that it has prepared you for your future, the lessons, the challenges, the hardships - all of it. It is important to be resilient and step out of your comfort zone. I say, YOUR comfy zone is not your friend. Embrace the lessons you have learned that allowed you to grow and shaped you and move on with your life. So many individuals are comfortable with their past so they talk about that instead of the present. I choose both my environment and my associations carefully so that I'm not exposed to people that will drain me. I focus on my goals on a daily basis and set growth measures for myself in specific areas and I make sure I learn something new everyday. :-) Cheers, Vanessa Hi Darren,
