Are you living for the past, future or present?

Question

where is your attention most at?

Answer 1

I'm a dreamer

I'm always thinking of tomorrow and what it'll bring.  (always searching to better my lifestyle)  Because it's true what they say: there aren't enough hours in a day.

My present is spent rushing to point A to point B while trying to avoid the pitfalls of yesterday.  (the only mistake that one can truely make is not learning from the ones that have already been made)

Answer 2

Our past relies on our future.

Answer 3

I personally live in all three.

Past:learned from my mistakes

Present:take what I learned,and apply it to my present needs

Future:Apply everything from before to plan  and hopefully accomplish things I've never done before in the future

I don't think you can live in/on/for only one ,because without the others you cant have a life

Answer 4

I live in the present moment. NOW. There is no past or future.

Answer 5

Yesterday is a figment of your imagination and tomorrow never comes....now is the only time that is real. My attention is deliberately focused on the present, and as a human it takes effort to not fall into the non-existent past or to not jump ahead into the never-happening future.

Answer 6

I use the past to learn from, NOT to dwell on. I work hard in the present to help shape my future. :)

Answer 7

Future, always anxious if I will see tomorrow, so I just ride the rollercoaster called present!

Answer 8

For the future. I just want things to get better, which they probably will in the future.

If I lived for the past, I would have no reason to live at all. The past sucked. And anyway, there's no point in living for the past, because you've already lived the past. I do think about the past very often, and I wish I could live it again and change some things. In a sense, I guess I do live the past. But I cannot change anything, or do anything at all. I can only remember, and long.

I live in the present, but I don't live for the present. What I do in the present are things that will make things easier, nicer, more pleasurable, and generally better in the future. However, I realise that if I keep doing this, I might never get to my "future".

Time is so wonderous. It just seems to go on and on and on. I wonder if it ever stops. We might just freeze, until it starts again, and then never remember. Maybe we have. Hmmmm......

Answer 9

I want to enjoy the present. that's why it was called "present" because it's a gift to us so we should enjoy it. At the same time, i'm looking forward to a bright future so there will be another present.

Answer 10

There is only the moment...
