The Past reflects upon the Present

One of the things I hear a lot from overly positive people is that we should forget the past and look toward the future. Unfortunately, our past actions create our present. A pattern of behavior in the past gives us understanding of how behavior will be in the present. We learn from our experiences (I hope). So keep the following video in mind as you go about your day. Are you acting or saying things that will embarrass and shame you in the future?

Negative thinking allows us to see into the future a bit and allows us to pre-censor ourselves. We’re all accountable for what we say and do. And how we react to others. So please, think before you speak. Especially if you’re going to be taped!
