You cannot change the past -- what's done is done.
The future is out of reach, and worrying about it often induces catastrophism, the fear of the worst.
But there are things we can control today, and one of those things is how we ourselves respond to events inside the moment, using mindfulness -- being aware of our thoughts as they happen.
I came to appreciate the above by perhaps different means, but it nonetheless seems like wisdom to me.
Once I started letting go of the past and letting the future sort itself out, I started being happier.
There's something to be said for living in the moment.
