The past drags a lot of men down

Disagree, we are our past. Everything that we are is a result of our past.

It is why we care about women's sexual past so much.

But, the focus should be on teaching men the importance of failure. You do not become a winner by winning, you become a winner by losing.

I can see how a lot of people can give up.

Looking at economic side, if you made a mistake, and still paying for it today., that’s the mistake that’s hard to forget and to enjoy the present and future.

So past mistakes can follow you and cause mental stress to the very end unless you dig yourself out of it. Some can dig out quickly while, others could takes years. Sadly many know they can never dig out of it with endless obligation that you can’t get out from Bankruptcy.

Great predictor of a person's future behavior is observing past behavior.

Ex. Marry a woman with a high body count.. she gonna cheat.

Caine: Is it good to seek the past, Master Po? Does it not rob the present?
Master Po: If a man dwells on the past, then he robs the present. But if a man ignores the past, he may rob the future. The seeds of our destiny are nurtured by the roots of our past.

It used to drag me down. I used to feel the weight of the burden of the past heavily on my shoulders every morning when I woke up. I'd feel tired, ache, miserable and remember all the embarrassing bullshit, failures and lost love. It was causing my body to deteriorate faster and greys come in. It wasn't until I truly just let go and stopped giving a fuck did I really feel any better

Past makes us strong, lots of things I regret doing but it is never late to start over. I learned to love change and starting over. It's quite powerful to reinvent yourself and adopt new deciplines. If you're not happy where you are at this moment, let go and hard reset your life.

Im greatful for my past as it lead me to know how to avoid it from repeating and what to do instead. We are all products of our environments and past, how good if a quality of a product you are (if you want to further use that metaphor) is up to you.

There is no past nor future. There is and will only ever be the here and now, i.e. the present.

The past (i.e. yesterday) when you were in it was nothing more than the present in that moment of time.

The future (i.e. tomorrow) when you get there will again be the present in that moment.

Live for right now because that’s all you have control over.

So I think this a true statement, I’m so scared to move ahead in my career. I have said and done a lot of stupid things.

I feel like if I move up I will become a target
