Ever feel like you look to the past too much and regret the mistakes, and then look forward to the future too much? I think I kind of do. I am trying not to regret at least the silly, stupid things I do, and forget. And then I look too much too the future, instead of living in the present. So either way, you cannot win. You are either looking at the past or future. I know life is about balance. And I attempt to do that. Attempt, but hardly succeed at times. Balance is a hard thing to achieve, I think. It is about having a proper amount of everything, physical, spiritual, and otherwise. It is quite interesting and lofty. And what am I doing instead of getting stuff done, like reading for homework, or taking a leisurely scroll? I am online, typing in here. Well, I guess that is somewhat productive, getting my thoughts out. I have so much I want to do, and I feel overwhelmed when I think of it all, and I want to do it all, now, but I cannot. So I just try to take it little by little. I cannot wait to be done with school. Two years at the university then I am done. Then I can have a job and a family. I cannot wait to have that stuff. To me, that is what life is about, kinda. A husband, a job, and family. And helping people, but that goes along with a job. Cannot wait. <3

Wow. You hit the nail on the head. I feel so unbalanced sometimes, and then I realize this and start to overanalyze what I can do to improve myself. I'm constantly looking toward the future. I'm not a person who lives by the phrase "live in the moment" but I do think it's important to just settle down and let that feeling come every once in while. I try not to live in the past, but a lot of times I catch myself doing this, so I just look more into the future to try to avoid it. Good luck accomplishing your goals.

Remember to slow down and enjoy the NOW once in a while! Also, there is a tendency to plan the future too far ahead (I do this, anyway) which can be a let down if things don't end up where you always thought they would. You know...like planning the perfect wedding from the age of 12, or planning to be married with three children, a house, and a dog by the age of 32. Sometimes it works out that way, sometimes it goes another direction entirely.
