Living in the future will stall your life. Living in the past will hold you back. Living in the present is the best way to keep living, keep learning, and keep making progress. But some people that live in today are living too much in today. They forget about what has been done yesterday. “Yesterday is past, it cannot be changed, so I will forget about it.” While we need to let yesterday go, we still need to remember and reflect what we wish we could change, so that we can use it to learn.
Today people can also ignore the existence of tomorrow. Even though tomorrow does not actually exist, it needs to exist in your mind. Some people get lost in avoiding being a tomorrow person, that they don’t think about tomorrow. They do what they can today, but they do not plan to improve and continue today, when tomorrow comes. They make and finish no plans. Often they live today as a fun and non-constructive day.
Even though we need to stop fretting about tomorrow and making self promises for tomorrow, we still need to take tomorrow into account. Even though we need to let yesterday go, we still need to use our memories to learn. Without that, we can easily achieve nothing today, and learn nothing today.
