Ignore the past if it is unpleasant. Think of the future.

Leave the past behind because it already happen and there is nothing we have to do about it. We must face life as we learned from it that is the important thing to do. Don't let yourself to repeat the same mistake as it is so useless.

"memory is a good thing if you don't deal with the past" don't look back to get new direction.move on and keep going,do what you want to do,anything else is secondary. i don't think the future will help.the most important thing is now,you know.you will never know what's going to be tomorrow.live now,don't wallow in past.that's my point. have a nice day,my friend.

Its a good way to think and it would make life easier for us all if we could think like that but it is not always that easy and there is some feelings and emotions we humans can't really control.

it is really a nice thought. its true taht there is no point in remembering the unpleasant past. may be the lesson got from taht is useful in future. w eshould pay atention to future.

Past in me has Marched PAST,carrying in it the hard memories that often weigh deep in to moods of sombre. As you rightly said, the ego of man, often stands in between, in accepting the defeat or the cause of the crisis or the situation which lead him to. So it is better not to touch one's ego, and stay away, take things as it comes.. and proceed the journey of our life as it comes. Our stay on the earth is a shorter span, and people like me, spend nearly half their life in sleeping,and therefore i don't want to brood over the spilt milk. As some real bad happenings has marked me, at every point of the life, and i have stood the test of time, with the valuable guidance of friends like you, and my family members, and i am moving in a clear conscience. Thanks again friend for starting a good topic.

Hello dear ssh. I love it when you say, "ignore the unpleasant past and think more of the future". Yeah, what has passed is only part of our history. It is only a way that we have passed by. Whatever the past might be or however the past was, we are living at the present stage and what we are supposed to focus on is both now and future. We need to do everything well at present and think more of the future and make some future plans and strive for the aims that we have set for the future. A good today will create a better tomorrow. Thanks for it and have a good day as always, my dear ssh.

Its easier said than done. Some people, like me, suffer from Depression, Clinical Anxiety, and/ or panic disorder. Its less a frame of mind that it the problem and more of a mental or chemical imbalance that one cannot help but through counceling and/ or medication.
