Please Don’t Look Back
Have you ever been in a financial state where you felt you must have outgrown such state because of your past financial situations. For instance, you were worth about $10k a year ago but today you are worth let’s say $1k, due to some unforeseen circumstances. Now you are sitting in your room talking to yourself and reminiscing on those times you were worth more but didn’t appreciate it because you wanted more. Well, I have to break it to you, when you dwell too much on the past, past success, past achievements or past failures without focusing on the present and moving on, you are going to keep missing the moment and won’t notice how much time you are wasting.

If you are dwelling on your past, depending on how it affects, it can make or break you, but I want to emphasize on how it breaks you. You know the phrase, “Opportunity comes but once”, this has broken a lot of people. You think you only have one opportunity and you work so hard trying not to mess that up, when you finally mess it up, you can’t forgive yourself because you have missed the only chance you have. You can’t miss an opportunity and think that is the end of your life or opportunity.
If you have made a mistake in the past, don’t keep dwelling on it or the past, move on. Move forward, focus on the next thing, don’t look back, please don’t.
Past achievement really haunts people like shadow and its not possible to forget past glory even woes, but we still have choices to focus on the present. I think knowing where to emphasize greatly matters.
We can stop wasting times and look for current situation to improve, same as financial conditions. The past wont help to provide an extra bonus to get you started. Its factual .
