No matter how gung-ho we could be, the decisions that we make today are largely due to our experiences in the past. The past made up who we are, today. It's an important part of us.
Sometimes these past experiences could be pleasant, where it made us more confident, daring to face the obstacles that are to come our way. Whereas some experiences, they are so appalling that we became fearful of every stride we make, afraid that we could be pulled into the pains of past failures.
Nevertheless, in order to be progressing, we need to stop living in the ghost of our past. Yes, sticks and stones, may break my bones, but these sticks and stones are the origin of how earlier cavemen produced fire for the first time, therefore, we can live in the luxuries of having different doneness to our steaks, isn't it?
By living in the past, all that we have to do is sit in one secluded corner and lick our wounds, and it is unlikely to bring about any changes, yet, the weight of past failures will seem heavier than it actually is, the severity of the situations might be magnified to be bigger than they appeared to be. Until one day, we totally forgotten how much dreams and visions we have for our future. While living a life mundane and uninteresting, we start to recall how we were hoping to lead the life of my dreams, but stopped by the 'cruelty of reality', but in actual fact, the only one person who is capable of manipulating your mind, is yourself.
The past, however great or dismaying, is gone and never to return, the future, is yet to be uncovered, live in the present, do what you deemed to be able bring you closer to be the you, you always wanted to be, and don't complain about the cards life dealt you, because to be stronger, you have to endure the hardship of doing what the weaklings can't endure.
