How we think drives how we live

Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why?

The past should certainly inform the future because the past created the person right now determining who they will be in the future.

Personally, I try to spend more time thinking about the future because the future is yet to be created. The past is for learning, evolving and growing. The future is for creating and living. You certainly should not be way out of balance because there is immense value in both ways of thinking. But we do ourselves and injustice if we are looking backward far more often than we are looking forward.

Living happens in the future, and hope is in the future. I feel like having the balance of thought shift toward the future would be a much more enjoyable life to live. Regardless of whether your past is filled with chaos or joy.

Let the past inform and motivate you toward the future. There is more freedom of mind and self when we think more towards the future.
