A loved one
often
replays the bad decisions
in his life.
He dwells on them.
And that is causing him
to make more bad decisions.
While he’s thinking constantly
about the past,
he’s missing opportunities
in the present.
If we drive forward
while
gazing constantly
behind us,
we’ll crash.
We should glance behind us
once or twice
briefly
and then concentrate
on the road before us.
Study the past.
Learn from it.
Then take those lessons
and focus on the present
and
the future.
