Past, Present or Future
Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why? The fallback for me has always been dwelling on the past. I now focus on the present. Dwelling on the past brings heartache, stress and shame and guilt. However, when you focus on the future, you work towards that goal being tunnel…
