Successful people realize living in the past only leads to regret and guilt for situations they can’t change. They also recognize that living for the future leads to them placing their present life on pause and living in a state of worry.

Successful people recognize the only way to achieve the life, happiness and goals they desire is to focus on the present moment—the only moment in their control.

Each moment you spend time traveling to the past or future is eating away at the potential memories that could be created in this current moment. Don’t cheat your happiness by having your thoughts and emotions elsewhere.
