The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be – Marcel Pagnol.

I think that this quote is a perfect description on the reason people are upset. I think it is saying that if people aren't as happy as they could be because they dwell on their past and make their preasent seem ten times worse then it really is.

If you look at life by what has happened in the past, you will miss out on so many different amazing opportunities. When your looking at the past people tend to look at the what ifs, what if they did this or what if they wouldnt of done that. Instead they should be saying, oh remember how we did this.. this is what made me such a strong person today.

When everyone is dwelling and wishing they would of done things different, they are missing out on both the amazing person they are now, and the things they could be doing now so that in the future when you look back you dont have even more what ifs.

If your upset about the past, then you wont be happy about what is going on now, and you will think that the future can't get any better because the preasent didn't. So why should you focus on the future when you already have messed up your past?

The future is your chance to change the things about yourself you dont like, and if you cant change them, then it is a chance for you to change the way you look at yourself and accept yourself with the baggage of the past, and move on to other things that can make you happy.



I think that this quote describes majority of the people in life now. Why dwell if you can change, if YOU can make the difference in what YOU have to offer? Why wait?
