The present is all there truly is. The present repeats itself to become the future that you both dread and desire. The past is simply memories of what was once the present moment. Regrets and mistakes don't matter when you fully live in the present. So give everything to the present. All of your focus, determination, and effort. Leave nothing on the table.
>>34532950The future is the present that was built out of your current present. If you don't do enough in this present, you will arrive at a present where your life is shit. Similarly conditions in your present are difficult because, during somebody else's present, they didn't do enough to support what was then your present, and thus they sowed the seeds of every thing bad that is occurring to you in this moment.In other words, only the future matters. You have to keep running with all your might. If you're tired, you're still not doing enough. Work until you collapse or you will be ruining someone else's precious future.
>>34532962The present is painful and the future is uncertain. Seek refuge in the blissful past, ye who tread here.
>>34532950The present is a gift
>>34533008The past was shit because the present was always painful.
>>34533288>A present is a giftWell no shit
>>34532950K anon, I'll live in the present and ask a random chick out. I won't worry about the 6'6 nigger that'll rape my butt in jail after she presses charges for sexual harassment against me.
>>34533320Catastrophizing won't help you move forward anon. Just as you imagine the absolute worst case scenario, so should you imagine the best case scenario.
By the time I perceive it it's the past THO
>>34533320If you somehow can't see the sheer absurdity and silliness of that made-up scenario (created by your brain [ego] to prevent you from trying to step out your comfort zone), then you may be way too deep in the crab bucket and should just die alone anyway. Just try to avoid shitting up the board (even more) with your posts or stick to >>>/r9k/ where the irredeemable self defeatist losers congregate. Sneed.
>>34533300Are you in that past right now? Breathe in anon. Be where your feet are, and empty your mind of bad memories. You can't get it back, nor can you change it. So focus on where you are NOW.
>>34533350>>34533436It's true that I struggle with approaching, but I was also being hyperbolic, maybe too much though.Anyways, the most hilarious thing is a few months ago I was actuallly about to ask this girl I know out, cause it seemed to me she was sending me signals for some time now, and then she casually dropped the fact that she already had a boyfriend before I had the chance to say anything. It felt more like she was trying to hide it from me and she fucked up. Obviously I had to abort the whole asking out thing and I honestly don't even have the will to try again with anyone anymore, cause something the same thing happened like a month later with another woman I know.
>>34533453Is the present in the room with us right now??
