  • Living in the past is synonymous with driving backward rather than forward. And you should agree with me that whoever that drives a car backward cannot make headway. I mean, he or she will hardly reach his or her destination. May I tell you, that's just an aftermath of living in the past. Yes! you heard me right, you will hardly realize your dreams, visions or aspirations if you keep on living in your past.

So, feel free to play it as you wish.
