Isaiah 43 :18 -19 Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.
We cannot continue to cry over spilt milk. Neither can we continue to wake the dead. Somethings cannot be reversed, try as we will. We can only accept them, and continue from there. Is it a relationship that ended abruptly? Are you still angry over a loss? Planning a revenge? Wanting to prove a point to someone that offended you?
There may be innumerable and varied reasons why someone is brooding over the past. Waiting to hatch an egg that may not even be present. No matter how logical your reason may be, or how engrossed you are with your past, it definetely would not add to today. Because fact is, merely paying attention to what was or could have been, is no way of building what is.
What is done today is what can determine what will be tomorrow. So instead of wasting away on interactions with the past, begin to design today, and take control of tomorrow. There is nothing wrong with allowing the past to reprimand you, but don't let it stifle you. Learn from it and move on to designing a better today. Your very input today will bring beauty to your life. Therefore focus on today, on what you can do to make it beautiful, in spite of your yesterday.
