"If we open a quarrel between the past and the present, we shall find we have lost the future."
Winston Churchill
20th century British statesman
This is true on many levels.
If you focus too much on what has been or is, can you possibly be thinking enough about what you would like in the future?
Learn from the past, don't live there, and enjoy the present while anticipating and planning for the future.
WOW!
