I was once told that the past is history, the present is a gift and the future is a mystery. I focus on the present and the near future. I also think of happy events in the past, like all my traveling. I sometimes try to imagine the future, like thinking about all the places I intend to travel to. Life can often be surprising. Things do not always work out like I imagine they will. In 2005 I booked a flight to Mexico and was so looking forward to my trip. However a hurricane blew up in that area of the world. It meant that Cancun airport had to be closed. Many people had been rescued from the natural disaster. My flight was canceled. I was so disappointed and had to quickly decide on an alternative destination. I chose the Maldives because it is a tropical paradise. I flew off there and had a few weeks of careful budgeting. Accommodation and transport there were so very expensive. I stayed on pretty little palm fringed islands. However months later I flew of the Cancun because I could not stand the thought of missing out on my Central America adventure.

The past has gone. I cannot change my past. The future is not going to come today, I cannot foree it or predict it. It is, therefore that I focus on present only and live in present only and I think it helps me imporve myself and helps me discharging my duties in a better manner.

All of us would of course like to think about the future but I think I always get hung on the past and try to recreate it, which of course doesn't work. So at best I try to live in the present hoping that my future is as bright as my past.

Hello there. I wish I can say I focus on the Present and Future. The Present and the Future are what we should be focusing on. However, I tend to dwell in the past too much. Sigh. I know I should focus on the Present and the Future and I will try my best to do it. =D

I dont think nowadays a majority of people beleive in their past, and why should one focus on the past? What happened has happened, you cannot help it but yes if you will focus on it then you are surely and likely to endanger your present or may be your future. I strongly beleive in what all i have mentioned. I am a kind of person who just enjoy every moment of life to its fullest, and this objective i beleive can be only acheived by focuusing strongly on my present and future. My funda to lead a creative and purposeful life is to enjoy and wherever possible work hard in your present which will ultimately lead to a bright future. According to me, thinking about past is a complete waste of time, untill and unliss someone is chering some good moments of life. Everyone can enjoy life at their best if they try to focus on their present and future, and try to forget whatever they expereinced in their past. This thinking of mine atleast works very well for me.....

I never dwell on the past. It's over so there is nothing I can do about it. I try to make the present as fun and happy as possible. I plan for the future for my family's well being.

The future. Every day, I try to make my future - and my family's - brighter.
