Reflection
Just came up with an insight, It's about the distinction between worry and reflection. So many thought authors or great personalities counsel us to avoid living in the past. “Live in the now,” they advise. “Enjoy the moment.” Well, I get what they are saying. But isn't there something good about going back and delighting in the delicious moments of the journey we've arrived from?
Which brings me to worry versus reflection. Whether to revisit the past - in my mind - depends on your intention. If your intention and reason to go back into your past is to dwell on bad things and to worry over things you cannot change and to rehash painful times, then I suggest it's an unhealthy act. But, if your intention - in going back in time - is to reflect on the lessons events have taught you and to grow in wisdom and to savor the precious memories that you were blessed enough to experience well then I think it's good.
Of course, I still remember the old adage - Even if you win the rat race, you are still a RAT –so that means even if you lose you will still be a RAT. Therefore our past can be useful to us to move forward in life by learning good things from it and analyzing the wrong that happened and be more careful never to repeat the same, after all that’s what LIFE is all about …….learning from experiences.

i would have to complete de phrase "Learning from experiences"
I would say "enjoy the momment and live by learning from experiences"
Or maybe "Enjoy the momment and use your instinct" (like animals!)
Dont know if I got that one right, not much of an english writter...
Im with you when u say that its great to go back in time and see those great momments (if only w could dream about them wennever we want, uh?) and thats very unhealty to go back in the past...
But its good to go back to the past... that way you wont go thru the same mistakes (of course, there are a lot more of mistakes to step into)
