Past, Present & Future

Why is it that people are so concerned with the past and future instead of living for the present?  

"Seize the day!   Carpe Diem!"

The past is gone.  Even though many times we wish we could go back, and change what we've done, or the way we did something.  Something we said or didn't say.... Whatever you did, you chose to do back then.  Deal with it.  If you are happy with the outcome, continue living life happily.  If you are discontent with the results, then see what went wrong, learn from it, and continue to live life, trying to avoid the same "mistake".

The future is something we cannot control. We cannot foresee what will happen.  We cannot prevent something from happening, if we don't know what will happen.  We can only hope that things will turn out the way we want them to.  People tend to think that they can control/prevent things in the future.  Certain things you can TRY to control for the future.  You can eat healthy and work out to TRY to stay healthy.  Even though it doesn't mean you will stay healthy.   You can be healthy and have a good body, but that can't prevent you from getting sick or having accidents...which is the point I'm trying to make.  You cannot control the future.

Live life for the present.  Enjoy each day.  Take in everything that is good and cherish it!  If anything happens that you don't like, let it go.  Life is short, and you have to embrace it!  Do things you enjoy!  Laugh! Cry!   Learn new things!  Love your family, friends and partners! Meet new people.  Help others.   Treat others like you want to be treated.  The world does go "round and round", and what goes around, definitely comes back around.  

Live the PRESENT.  Learn from the past.  Hope for the future.
