How often do you think about the mistakes you have made, past relationships that failed, losses you have endured, or someone that agitates your soul?
How many times have you tuned out your loved ones, colleagues, and others?
We are often so distracted by the past and worrisome about the future that we miss opportunities.
Opportunities to strengthen relationships, learn more, make better decisions, and become more effective.
It makes sense why we fall into this trap, but it is counterproductive and affects those around you.
Learn from the past, but do not live there.
Plan for the future, but do not obsess over it.
Every second spent dwelling on the past or obsessing about the future steals from the present moment.
