Past Situations

When you have a problem with someone, do you tend to bring back the past? Do you keep mentioning words uttered or actions performed long ago? Why don't you - instead - face the actual situation and try to deal with it with the elements that are at your disposal "now"? Remembering the past should only be done in rare cases, just as a brief memory of a pleasant moment or to quickly review the lesson learned then. Otherwise... forget it! As no situation is ever the same, the one you are facing right now cannot be exactly the same as the one that took place long ago, and that you are now bringing back in order to prove your point. Don't do it. It only makes things worse. Be in the present. It's the only time you can live and act upon.
