Do you look forward?
Answer:
What is locking you into the past? It's usually regret and anger over past conflicts. You may be re-living past good experiences, as though they can continue to pump you up. The only real life you have is the moment. Everytime you find yourself locked into the past, shake yourself free and come back to the real life you have here and now. Practice and practice living in the moment and the past will fade. You can only live the past as a thought, in your head. That's not where life is. It's like the song "welcome back, your dreams were your ticket out..."
I'm the opposite, I look too forward into the future and sometimes forget about today.
I stay in the present. If we concentrate on making the present the best we can make it, the future takes care of itself and the past was what you wanted it to be. Life is full of singular moments. Live every moment the right way. There will always be things we can't control that may happen to us, but i never worry about those instances.
It depends on which "past" you are talking about. If you are talking about your personal past, then you need accept the fact that it cannot be changed. If you are talking about the historical "past," then you might look carefully at the time period you are interested in and see what values or ideas you can bring into your present and on to your future.
In either case, you might remember that the past is the foundation upon which we build our present and our future, not the entire building.
I look both ways, one eye back and one forward. I get what I want in life by looking what I've done in life (bad and good) and use it as my guide.
