What actually drives you back or forward??

Most of  the persons  would agree with me on the point that though we move ahead in our life as per the clock and years but still a greater proportion of our thoughts are occupied by reminisces of past or illusions of future but  not the analysis or solution of present. In short, inspite of living physically in present we usually survive mentally in past or Future. I will not be wrong in proclaiming that most of the time we think about what we could have done in past to avoid the circumstances or unfavourable conditions which had occured. We keep on thinking about the mistakes committed by us in the past and what forced us to act in that way. When we are depressed or obstructed by some problem, we cry spiritually remembering the happening and jolly days of past instead of focussing upon searching  the most  optimum solution or way which can lead us out of the problem. When we are free , we dream about how our future would be or can say the fantasies of unpredictable future.But why its so?? It has been proved that mind has a vibrant activity. But there is one more  fact that a person can master his mind completely. It means person himself wants to live either in past or future and not the present? But it seems to be quite illogical and vague as well. If you realise, its a cycle. You made mistakes in the past because at that time you were thinking about the superpast or living on  the traces of it instead of handling the present situation with full devotion and attention. Now you are repeating the same in present and hence your future will also be on the same track. Learning from your experiences and mistakes of past and utilising them for betterment of future and present is not at all a thing to be regretted for but basing your life entirely on the traces of it is not good. And having dreams and plans of future  is nice but constantly residing in that illusionary world will take you nowhere. Because your future actually depends on what you do in present.  Humans have a tendency to self console them or diverting mind from what they don't want to face. They derive pleasure in thinking that wow, in future i will  have this and that and it would be so delightening. But the fact  is your illusionary future can't solve your present problem which actually will decide your realistic future. Treat every moment of your life as a plate of food which has multiple flavours and tastes. When you are having a meal of your day , you don't think about what you ate  yesterday or what you will eat Tomorrow. You just focus on what is presented to you at the moment.  So, every instance of every life is just a plate offered to you by god. Taste very flavour-some you may like and some you may not but digest or accept everything.  It will actually prepare you for your future....

          Don't let your past become your present and your present a past....

           Enrich yourself with every small moment of your life....
