The past can be an extremely powerful force in your life, if you allow it to dominate your present experiences. You may say that you don't give it such power, but maybe you do, without realizing it. Even if you don't keep thinking about 'yesterday', you might feel inadequate in a certain circumstance, for example, just because you subconsciously recall a similar situation where you failed. You have therefore created a negative belief about yourself that has serious repercussions in your present life. The past is gone, finished, obsolete! Remembering is not wrong, of course, provided it does not become a habit or, worse, a benchmark for your actions. The memory of a negative experience can be useful as a lesson but... limit yourself to be aware of the lesson without letting past mishaps undermine your self-confidence.
