Excerpt
Life can be hard, sometimes much harder than it needs to be. This is not breaking news, especially during this difficult time we have all been trying to navigate through. Dealing with the present and worrying about the future is even more difficult and challenging when we are stuck in the past. We can agree that life should be better, and life should be easier but that is not always the case. We must try and make the best of each day we have, and not continue to be consumed by the negativity of our past.
We often grieve what should have been, and live life in the past lane. Living life in the past lane, simply stated, is when you cannot let go of past in order to appreciate the present and future. The goal is to focus forward on better days ahead. Focus forward on what you have to gain, not on what you may have lost.
