Carpe Diem!
The past is a place of reference, not a residence, [a place of] learning, not living. (Roy T. Bennett, author)
Do you know people who seem to be living in the past? They cling to their memories and may often lament, “This is not the way it used to be” or “Why all these changes?” As Bennett says, the past is where we learned, but we live in the present. It’s best to apply the lessons of the past to make the most of life today! Carpe Diem!
It is a good thing to . . . accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God. God keeps such people so busy enjoying life that they take no time to brood over the past (Ecclesiastes 5:19-20).
