Wish I were और like you. I'm the complete opposite, and I actually don't think that thinking a lot about the future is all that bad of a thing (unless your thinking too far into the future, in which case, आप might get too ahead of yourself या become overwhelmed). It can make it simpler to prepare for any obstacles in your way, and to have the hindsight to take the right course of action. In fact, it's probably the best of any one way of thinking. I like to think of it as an analogy: To think of the past is like walking backwards down a road; आप won't be able see where you're going and could crash into anything at any moment, to think of the present would be like staring down at your feet as आप walk; same issue: won't be able to see where you're going, but to think of the future, that's looking straight ahead; you'll see exactly where you're heading. Although, there are cons in that kind of thinking, as well. I like the saying, "An optimist with their head in the future is a blessing, but a pessimist with their head in the future is a curse." At the same time, I don't think it's really all that black and white though, आप need to know how to think about the future, while at the same time referencing past mistakes so that आप know not to repeat them. The sun can't rise tomorrow if it never sets today. Life is meant to be a series of trial and error and bettering ourselves. I, unfortunately, am a bit scatter-brained when it comes to thoughts about the present या future and I have the most stubborn brain in the world. I just can't seem to let go of the past, my mistakes, my regrets, my shame, the bad times that changed me, the good times that I know are behind me, my desire to start over. There really isn't a दिन that goes द्वारा where I don't have a thought पार करना, क्रॉस my mind that goes something like "I wonder what my life would be like now if that never happened," या "Where would I be if I'd have done this instead of that," या "Could I have been able to change that one thing back then with what I know now?" It's futile, though. The past is the past. Anytime a thought of the future would pop up, it seems to be a knee-jerk reaction for me to just dismiss it and repress it. I always found it fascinating that every humans brains are all statistically 97% similar to each other, yet people have such different perspectives and inner conflicts. All in all, I think, so long as you're confident, strong, and unwavering, आप wont have to have as much concern over the angst of your past या the apprehensions of your future. Sorry for talking so much, I just have a lot of thoughts on the matter.
