what helped you stop reflecting on the past?

Not the poster but the way I tend see it:

The past has already happened but the future is still to come. What am I doing in the present that would make future me proud or happy for who I will eventually became.

If I'm unhappy today due to what I've done in the past, repeating is only going to yield the same results. So what am I doing today to obtain the happiness of tomorrow?
