Think of it this way...if you're driving a car, the road ahead of you is the future, the car you're in is the present, and in the rearview mirror is the past.
Now...you can drive faster to get to the future in a more timely fashion; but the road ahead of you is still ahead of you and will remain ahead of you, no matter what because you're always looking or moving forward...to the future.
The past is in the rearview mirror.
Now you can put the vehicle in reverse and go backwards towards the past' but it's still going to be in the rearview mirror no matter what you do...because you cannot change the view behind you.
Certain points in the rearview mirror can bring you closer to them; but you still have a view in the mirror; and that's not going to change.
Which brings us to the present. That's a different animal altogether because you can change the course of where you're driving and therefore change or alter the path you're on.
That's where decisions come in. You can decide to change the path you're on.
Once you do that, you can decide where you want to go and how you're going to get there and with whom.
You are master of your own fate and never forget that.
Leave the past behind in the rearview mirror...that's where it belongs.
We rent the past much like a rental house or apartment that most of us have lived in one time or another in our lives.
We can dress up the bedroom, put new curtains up, or give it a good cleaning.
But at the end of the day; it's not ours to own...it's someone else's property.
It's time to own the present; because that's where you are right now and that's something that no one can take away from you.
It's yours, so embrace it. For tomorrow is another day.
