This is especially applicable to me personally at the moment. It’s also from a blog that is new to me. Take a peek.

We walk a teeter-totter each day between all that we have known and experienced in our past and all that we hope and dream for our future. The tension between these two poles forms our awareness of who we are. If I am to grow and become the very best version of me possible, I cannot lean too heavily toward what happened yesterday or what may happen tomorrow. However, neither can I totally disassociate myself from them. I must strive to learn from those things that I have experienced in the past without lingering or wallowing there. Similarly, I must look to my hopes for the future to guide me without escaping into a daydream that prevents me from savoring the experiences that are being offered today.
