Our mind always moves forth and back between past, present and future. For example, When you decide to get married, the first thing is that your mind moves into the past when you had seen or heard unsuccessful or successful marriages of your friends or members of your family. You start analyzing your current decision based on the information that you collected in the past. Here you should remember that your decisions based on the past experiences often fail because the conditions in the present time are totally different than the conditions in the past.
Immediately after this your mind jumps into the future where you have stored your dreams and fantasies. The current decisions based on the dreams and the fantasies of future will also fail because they the time in future will be most of the times in contrast to your plans, dreams and fantasies. This is because when you plan something for future, that plan would not have built on the practical aspects which are going to happen in future and you are unaware of it.
So, making decisions on or analyzing any current situation, process, thought or a thing based on current elements will lead to proper understanding of things or problems on hand. But it’s always better to take a note of past and future just to make your path for your right decision. The past will tell you how to walk on a road. The future will tell you where to reach by walking on that road. But the present will tell you why to walk or why not to walk.
