Today’s Thought: Turn Your Attention from the Past

Don’t stumble over something behind you. ~ Seneca the Younger

NOTE: Dwelling on past hurts gets one nowhere. Dwelling on what used to be gets one nowhere. Dwelling on what could have been is another time waster. Time spent dwelling on the past detracts from living and enjoying the present moment. When we adhere to the myth, “It’s the way we’ve always done it,” we’re adhering to the past, refusing to consider newer and more effective options. Don’t get hung up on the past. It’s over. Life is lived now. Do what is important today so tomorrow will be even better than today.
