I do my best to live in the past, present and future all at once. I live the failure and successes of what I've done, I live the hope I have for the future. I live those things in the moment, (hopefully) without letting them cloud it. I'm realizing it's rare, what I (attempt to) do.
Lately I've seen people live in any moment but the one they are in, letting the past bring them out of it, letting the future paralyze them. I've seen them hover in some other time, some other place and miss the things that are right in the front of them. I feel sorry for them.
I've also seen people who only live in the moment. People who pretend that anything other than where they are just then doesn't exist, forgetting about responsibility, consequences, sometimes even loyalty, so that they can indulge in the moment. I feel sorry for them too.
I am the sum of my past and my present. I am the hope for my future. I never forget these things and I consider seriously what impact I'll have in other peoples lives with my actions. I live in such a way that I don't often have regret, and rarer still, do I allow myself to act in a way that will cause it for others.
