Life, by its very nature is a continuous evolution process. Everyday we evolve into somethign that we were not yesterday. But often times we forget what yesterday was like. Today seems so refreshingly new, that we dont realize where it all started. Why did we get to where we are. A lot of times it is just convinient to forget. Today is so much better than yesterday, why bother thinking about it?

But what happens if today is worse ? wasnt yesterday better off? If only I hadnt made that one decision that got me here. If only there was a way I could turn this around. If only there was a way to go back in time, talk to myself and convince myself out of this. If only..

If looking back is the first thing we do when we arrive to a negative outcome, why isnt it also the first thing we do when we end up in a good place? Why is forgetting where we came from the first thing we do?

Human motivation comes from incentives. Our incentive to look forward becomes the success that we see today. If today is worse than yesterday, you have lost incentives to live in today. The past is more attractive and you’d rather live in the past. But the past is always like that book, that you may have loved reading, but that story will never change.
