"Looking
back, a person risks losing hold of the present while being confounded by the
past." I
personally agree with this statement those who dwell on the past never
really live their life to the fullest. When you harp on what has happened
in the past you tend to live in it, and I am an avid believer in that.
When you hold on to the past you lose sight of what the future has in store for
you. It is a very hard thing not to do and I try to deal with this through my
faith by having the comfort that god has a plan for me in whatever I do.
Through my 18 years of being on this earth I have begun to realize when things
get really bad and you reach a low point things can only get better from there.
This was a strong quote in my eyes and it almost inspires me to keep
pushing through whatever I'm going through and keep a positive
mindset in what the future holds for me.
I chose this quote too and I couldn't agree with you more. I try not to dwell on the past, and I believe I am pretty good on not dwelling, but I know that others unfortunately have a hard time over coming that. I like how you mentioned that when you reach a low point that things can only get better from there. Sometimes when I'm feeling down I tend to forget that things can get better and I hope that next time I can remain more optimistic.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you also! Depending on the circumstance, sometimes it's extremely hard to get over what happened in the past. When I am feeling down because something didn't go my way I always tell myself that if it's meant to be then it will be. Most of the time that helps me get over whatever happened and stay optimistic at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with your post! Only looking back on the past restricts us from moving forward and actually being able to enjoy life. When we are able to move on from the past and only look forward, we are truly able to live.
