do you look into the past???

i never looked at it that way....thank you for that....i didnt think there was anything wrong with it but i guess i listened to others more than i should have. i also use past experiances to try and help fellow mylotters. the past seems to play an important rolein everyones life rather they realize it or not. i love the oldway back in the day memories lol and sometimes wheni miss my grandpa or my pa i will sit back and remember the good times and it makes me feel better like they are right there with me :)

yes i also use to wish from the past and i guess i still kind of do but i do not do it to an extent that it runs my life. i guess i wish for the dreams i once had and the future i planned on having. by doing this i can keep in mind what it is i want in life and it helps me to reach higher to get it :) yes if you live in the past it can make you like a stone i have been there and done that lol

i agree with you 100% i have a bad habit of "driving that car to fast" it is like a country song i love so much i dont remember the name but it says "i dont know why im rushing because all i have to do is live and die" (not the exact words but close to it) and i think that is what i do alot i spend my life trying to rush thro it and when i stop and take a look at the past i am able to slow things down a notch or two and enjoy some things i have been missing out on :) i also think that dreams it what keeps us going on in our lives because without dreams there would be nothing to honestly live for.

As soon as you are not obsessed with the past then you are right, I recall the past for things that happen again in my life and having experience on certain tasks sure helps :)

i do the same thing lol. when something happens in my life that i feel i went thro before i look at it at how did i handle it and how did it turn out. if it turned out ok i will try and do things close to it but not the same but if it turned out badly then i will try NOT to do that "mistake" again and instead try something new because you are right it really does help :)

yes i agree. i do not feel as tho i am obsessed with the past i just use it as kind of like a motivator. i also look at the things i have done in my life so that that i can better my self, my life, my relatioship, ect. it just kind of helps me i guess.

thank you for that :) it makes a lot of sence and i never really looked at it like that. i do look at some things that really make me wounder what is the point but i have tried looking to better my future and move past a lot and forgive a lot that happened to kind of start over fresh and do what i can to make everything better. then everything will just kind of fall into place.

I agree with ericpapasit. I know someone who can't just let the past go and he was so obsessed with it because he was cheated by his wife and he just blames her and asks her about it. This is not a good way to use the past. Living in it... I see looking at the past as looking on a map : it helps one to see the whole picture. If for example , you want to know what you want to do with your life , you can consider many things of today like jobs , studies , what you like , what you don't like , the weather ... and also the past has something to do with that : the things you liked and don't like anymore can make you think for how long you will keep doing what you do or maybe for how long will you like it. What mistakes you will try to not do again , what you are looking for... The past has a lot of impact about who we are and what's next to come for us.

i agree that is the worst way to live. that means you stuck in the past and you cant move forward.. i never thought of it compared like that but i agree with you. it is like looking at a map and you just have to know how to use it and look at it right. then know how to follow it in the positive direction to find the treasure (better your life). thank you for your comment :)
