As I read and ponder:

They say that hindsight is 20/20. And they’re right.

In the present moment, it’s hard to observe your life for what’s really going on.

Patterns and trends tend only to emerge when you are looking back, not when you are looking around you.

In order to really examine your life, you need to look backwards at some point.

This doesn’t mean that you are “living in the past.” It doesn’t mean that you are not present in the present anymore.

It simply means you are looking at past circumstances to extract gems from what you have experienced.
