do you live in the past/present/future

[HappyScrappy]

mentally, where do you find yourself most of the time?

 

[saint808]

i am not sure any of it exists, well except for now... but then i get it in my head that there is no reality only different perceptions because no one sees things like i see them... i see blue but someone else might see red nd just call it blue... my head hurts... i need sleep

 

[Kryp2o]

All of the above.

 

[Gilbyag]

I picked the 1st option... someone break it down... what does it mean...?

Good thread, Scrappy
I think of the present and future alot...but, when I get down, it seems like the past is right there in my face......actually I dwell on my past alot...
I'm very hard on myself.

A combination.

It's always good to remember the past, good or bad.
You should learn from your past experiences.

You should have a firm footing in the present.

You do control your future to some extent.
If you don't plan with the future in mind, then
you are probably heading towards failure.

the last one

i find myself reminiscng sometimes when something happens in my life that triggers a memory, think of present events a lot and of the future a lot too

im starting to focus on the first instead of the second.

[HappyScrappy]

if it makes you feel better - you can be glad you aren't me

 

[WODIN]

I'm not really here at all....

 

[PinK233]

Future most of the time....where I'll be in 5,10 years....that takes up most of my thought

Buddhism encourages you to focus on the prestent moment, and not to get caught up in past events or future plans. I try to follow this advice, although it's not easy.

do you live in the past/present/future

I live in the noid!

 

[daised]

i must look at the future, although it might not be clearly defined, my past and present are too hard to look at, i would be consisantly depressed.

 

[smallmovesal]

i think i'm living in a week ago if i look at my homework situation.

on the cutting edge of societal evolution...

Sounds like you have some serious problems back home there, Scrap.

Whatever it is, I'm sorry you're going through it and you have my support--whatever that means. Anyways, remember to concentrate on the bright side of everything and try to look forward to tomorrow, regardless of how bleak it is.

One step at a time and shit.

As for your thread, my biggest problem is I live in the now. Rarely, do I ever consider the future. I just do things that make today good. I try to leave the past in the past and rarely think of my future. Maybe that's why i'm so fucked, financially.

the future......

But I'm not waiting to live my life until the future, I just have alot of goals.

I think about the past alot too. You can "predict" your future, by what you have done in the past.
