is it good to live in past and worry about future?

You don't have to forget your past, and you do have to worry about your future. You have to remember your past, and your past mistakes in life, for not committing the same mistakes again in life. And you have to work hard now thinking in your future. But, principally, try to make your actual life the best you can, enjoy the life, but don't forget about your past or not to worry about your future.

Well, actually live each day one at a time and don't have to worry about tomorrow unless you are not doing something for your tomorrow then. yesterday had passed and life has no u-turn to finish undone work. do something today so you don't have to worry of tomorrow.!

It's right. We shouldn't think of the past and continue dwelling on it. But what I meant to say is, not to think of the past mistakes that we've made. They will only slow us down. Sometimes, when you're feeling down, you should think of the good things that you've done in the past, that made you who you are today, that you're correct, so that we'll have more determination and the will to carry on. I also do that when I feel unmotivated. In fact, I feel even happier because I know I've achieved that to become who I am today so I must try even harder to become even better. That's the mindset

I do not feel we feel we should live in the past, however I do feel at times we can recall certain moments about the past in our future so that we do not make the same mistakes and or continue the great encounters. We should live in the now and look forward to a great future always.

Hi! Sayings like this contain some truth but should be put in its context. It would not do to dwell too much on the past nor dream too much of the future that you are unable to live wisely in the present. I do go back and reminisce my past as there are good and rich memories there I also think of my future as this gives me the motivation to move on. The Chinese has a wise saying that teaches moderation in everything. Merry Christmas.

Thinking about past is not bad, but if thinking about past get our attention out of focus, it would be serious case, I think we should think about pas to learn lesson not to revenge or to exceed in grievance.

We should live for today, yesterday is gone and let the future takes care of itself.

Hello, tenrajj. Some people can learn useful lessons when they look at their past. Some can program themselves better by trying to imagine the future. Others can even find out what or where they want to be if they start thinking what will it be like in ten years. This sentence is quite relative. Some people make a great use of time events, putting it on their advantage, allowing them to experience life better. Others are just locked on a time that is not the today, and therefore live unhappily, empty. I think more or less like you. I know the future cannot be planned, but there must be somewhere I wanna reach. And I like to think about future in that way, to see where I want to get to. And past to learn with my own mistakes (or with others). Respectfully, Munhozmib.

The past is something that can make our lessons. By looking past the bad, we can take a lesson not to repeat again. By learning from the past, our lives will become better future.

I think the past should meet the present. Great things have happened in the past and excellent things will happen in the future. I love the way you have expressed yourself...looking at things I have accomplished in the past makes me think anything is possible for the future.

You're right. I don't think it's possible to completely ignore the past or the future. The past made us what we are now and sometimes holds wonderful memories. And if we want food, security and other things in life, we need to think about the future and work to get those things. Also, having a goal in front of us keeps us going and improves our present life. But I think that people who say we should live in the present mean that we shouldn't cling to the past or worry excessively about the future. There should be a balance in all of us regarding these things.

HI FRIEND, I agree with you because if we don't think of future we cant have any financial security and we must keep the lessons which we have learnt from our past so that we don't repeat any mistakes and make our life journey of life save.

No, I don't think living entirely in any of those is a good practice. i think we should learn from our experiences in the past, live in the present and do our duties and prepare for the future.

no dont forget your past.because if you forget your you will forget the experience of your life so you will not be able to adapt yourslef with future perfectly.so depending on past arrange your present to make a good way for future..

We should only live for the present moment as the past is history. Let the future takes care of itself.

I believe that live in today and forget past / future. A bollywood movie "Kal Ho Na Ho" is also based on the same subject line. Thinking / living in past doesnot make any sense as the past had already gone and now we cannot do anything to change it. Same is the case with future. We donot know what will happen in future then how can it benefit if we worry about future. Let the life prevails and be happy in today. Rest be kept for God to decide what future he want to give us.

No I do not believe we should totally forget the past and not look to the future at all. What I believe is this, We learn throughout our life, if we forget that we never learn. This brings the past into our present. If we look forward to having children, grandchildren, and so on. Family get together's, planning for special occasions, this brings the future to the present. The present is a choice of what we have learned, what we plan and planned, as well as spontaneous choices. Yesterday is history we learn from Tomorrow is a mystery, that can change no matter how much we plan. Today is a gift, you never know what truly happens until it happens.

Just live in the now and look to the future in a positive way by setting goals and feeling good with each step you take towards your goals. Worrying and looking back to the past only distracts you from luck, happiness and abundance.

there's a research that says that whoever thinks about the past and worry about the future be unhappy i think it's because the past is gone and nothing can change that, the future might not happen as we are afraid of it's gonna to but to both past and future there's the now that we can actually change things

Yesterday has passed. Tomorrow cannot is uncertain. What you can control is today. So please forget past ( of course, I mean you need learn something from past, but for those old matter, please forget) We cannot always think of the things matter. We cannot say we will, we will ... We should devote ourselves to the things that need to be done today. If you want to do something, please take action immediately.
