    very beautiful question.....

    worrying abt the past...or worrying abt the future...both r incorrect....

    learning frm past.....living the present....working hard for the brighter future...that is wat i think life is all abt....

    past is the teacher...the reference book...it tells us abt the mistakes we had made and weaknesses we have in ourself such that we r aware and careful of the fact that we do not repeat it....

    present is seriously a "present"...its a gift....its all abt smiling and spreading smiles....its abt aiming for big and beautiful dreams and working very hard for them.....its abt making the future better and living each moment beautifully such that these moments later become a lovely "past"...

    future...its the prize...its the fantasy....its the reward for ur good work that u did in "present" by learning frm "past"...it may also be a challenge...becoz in life we do see some of the most difficult situations....but then when the challenge is experienced...it becomes the "present" and future is again the ray of hope....hence, future, looked frm any angle shud be filled with flowers and smiles....

    i make the mistake of bothering abt the past or future and forgetting the present...but i am trying my level best to live the present beautifully, learning frm past and hoping for a lovely future....

    once again..excellent Q !!

    How do I answer this? With Obama as President - Our Taxes are Higher! On Social Security Disability - which is All we Earned Last year - We Had to Pay Taxes for Our First Time on Disability! Yet we actually got Money from the New State (Arkansas) that we moved to! Obama has Gone Directly Against the Constitution! I Love America and Our Constitution, Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence! I Love the Way Our Founding Fathers set up this Country and How They Also Too Warned of the FEST of Liberalism in America! They Were Foretelling the Future and they Feared it as Well! Of Course Liberals Deny This and Complain - "Oh They are Dead Anyway!" Like History Doesn't Count? They that repeat the errors of man - Are Doomed to Repeat It! It's Happening! Yet, EVERYONE wants to deny it! So Sad! Obama wants to Limit Freedom of Speech - Religion - and Take Off the Net (it's being discussed in Congress at the President's Request!). So I Say NO as being an American! I Tried to Warn Everyone I Could Not to Vote for Obama on Several Blogs! Everyone called me a liar - Guess what I Didn't Lie! Many who Disagreed with me - Now Call Me Their Friend and I Call Them Mine! Funny how things turn out! They Agree with Me Now Too! Isn't It? As being Christian I say YES! Proof from the Bible - This Is The Latter Days and Not So Far From Now - Our Lord Will Come! Peace to All and God Bless! Jane.

    Dear gentleman,

    It has gone from my mind about worrying the past.I always think it's a garbage which should not be muddled.

    The future should be aimed for the best but also except for the worst.Only then will your life go smoothly in the present.

    Blessings,

    It depends on my mood. The past cannot simply be burried just like that, it resurfaces sometimes, it may have had consequences on our present life... one cannot break so easily all links with the past. SOmetimes I worry about the future... Sometimes I think it's better to just live in the present moment, but there's always a little panning to be done ahead, so...

    I am a combination of both. However, I think that the best way of leading life is to live in the present. You should watch the movie Peaceful Warrior. I like the philosophy in it.

    Past and present,Present and Future,Future and Past- these words are not just words it's each one's life.A Life History.

    Well again i thank you to make me understand the real meaning of all these words and guided me to lead a better life.Frankly speaking my past was haunting me everyday,it was you who read what was worrying me and made an sincere effort to bring out those worries and made me realise my mistakes in life so far,today i have peace and started to look life in positive direction.

    I Thank you senthilji,sometimes i think how proud your parents are,your family,your freinds who have an opportunity to even see and seek your advices,how many couples or families would be blessing you from heart,how proud would be your wife and how lucky they all are....how lucky we all are to have come across such a wonderful and warm person.

    Your advices would have changed many lives for better...u r truly a blessed person...

    Thank u god,

    i some times remember my childhood days or my life before marriage and also realize present is true no matter how much I dint want it to happen

    whoever saying they are concerned only about their present are lying according to me because whatever we do today is only for the future to be more secure and happy

    dreaming of bright future always keeps u happy today

    Correct way to live is to live in present and live moment to moment with total self expressions. the moment you go into the past or imagine your future you are out of the reality and your life become tense.livelife fully and live every moment100%.
