I think the majority of people would agree that it‟s unhealthy to live in the past. After all, we‟ re all familiar with the new age philosophy, “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That‟s why it‟s called the present”. Living i n the past holds us back from being able to enjoy the present moment. But are there any benefits of revisiting a previous time? Actually, yes. The past has several perks:

Learning from our mistakes: We all know that poor choices can be some of life‟s great est teachers. Reviewing times when we made mistakes can help us make better future decision.

Moving beyond: By revisiting an unfavorable event from our past, we can often view it from a different perspective as time has passed. Being older and wiser, we are now able to reevaluate the experience and gain deeper insights and understandings of what happened and why, and how it has impacted us since. What once scarred us can now be healed through a newly-found awareness and no longer be a negative force in our lives.

Motivated by earlier successes: There are times when we have all enjoyed success on a variety of levels. Other times life has been difficult. Remembering the past when we were at our best canhelp motivate us out of our current slump(低谷) and put us back on track for success. Use your pastuplifting experience to promote you on to newer and greater things.

So while it‟s evident that revisiting the past has several perks, there is a warning. Just like an amusement park, it‟s fine to visit but you cannot stay there forever. At some point, the park closes and all visitors are asked to leave. Enjoy the past when necessary but don‟t always stay there. Use it for living in the present and planning for the future. In that way, it will serve you well.

One of the greatest sources of unhappiness, in my experience, is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are.

When we see something we don‟t like, we wish it could be different. We cry out for something better. That may be human nature, or perhaps it‟s something ingrained (根深蒂固的) in our culture. The root of the unhappiness isn‟t necessarily that we want things to be different. However,it‟s that we decided we didn‟t like it in the first place. We‟ve judged it as bad, rather than saying. “it‟s not bad or good, and it just is it.”

In one of my books, I said “You should expect p eople to mess up and expect things to go differently than you planned.” Some readers said it‟s too sorrowf ul to expect things to go wrong. However, it‟s only negative if you see it as negative and judge it as bad. Instead, you could accept it as the way the world works and try to understand why that is.

This can be applied to whatever you do: how other people act at work, how politics works and how depressing the news media can be. Accept these things as they are, and try to understand why they‟re that way.It will save you a lot of sadness, because you‟ll no longer say, “Oh. I wish
