Now is a great moment to live in. When we see the past as an important aspect of our being we fail to see the beauty of this moment. It deminishes our ability to appreciate the beauty in life and the positive aspects of those around us. This is also relevant to thoughts pertaining to the future.
Many people, myself included strive to be something tomorrow or remember how we blundered yesterday and let it affect our mind and mental wellbeing. Unfortunately the mind is like a child, it needs to be taught how to sit still.
With the childlike mind we find ourselves competing with our own thoughts or character. You may have trouble admitting your wrong, finding yourself in an argument and getting frustrated, getting irritated with someone and dwelling it for minutes hours days or even years. We need to let go of our ego, we need to appreciate on the things now and find joy in our everday being.
Try to let go of the past, its not something that you have control over, you can't change it but simply look for the good or the lessons that can be learned from it, allowing concious decions to be made. Try not to think too far ahead for it will leaving you wishing you were already there. Drift to far back or forward and you may find yourself stuck in the sand of samsara.
