Past is blinding / Minevik pimestab

Some time ago I heard an old Indian saying which goes like this: “Your past is before you and your future is behind you. Thats why you can not see your future clearly, your past obscures your view. First you have to accept your past that it is keeping your future back from you. Your future will catch you anyway, no need to worry about that.”

That way of thinking allowed for me to clear my head. Looking the things other way around helped me to stop worry about my past. It did not tear me down anymore with its hopeless burden but faced me with the truth that if I want to go on I need to put the past beside. Like something I do not need anymore.
