Wanna know something great about the past? It's behind you. You don't have to live there.
You can try. But it takes a lot of effort on your part. Like walking against the flow of a moving sidewalk at the airport. Do it a little and you stay in place. Want to really go back? You have to run. It's exhausting. Moving forward is the natural way.
So don't try to live in the past. Especially if the past wasn't as good as today or tomorrow (and it almost never was.)
On the other hand, if you're not happy with where you are today, go forward. That moving sidewalk will help you, propel you even, towards a better future faster than you think.
Life moves in one direction. Stop fighting the force.
I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man, floating down canal. It doesn't use numbers or moving hands, it always just says now. Now you may be thinking that I was had, but this watch is never wrong. And If I have trouble the warranty said...
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On...
