Naw!. Too slippery slope, feelgood-ism!. That never works when you take the concepts to their end product!.
Heck, I'll see you your 'live in the now,' and raise you a 'those who forget history are doomed to repeat it!.' That includes your personal history!. Heck, I'll throw a, 'doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity!." (Einstein, natch!.)
You need to remember the past, ACT in the now, and prepare for a future!.
As I hear it, 2009 is the FIRST time, EVER that Toyota has outsold GM globally!. Yet while Toyota is closing plants for an unprecedented eleven days this year (!!?) GM is in danger of going under!. Absolutely will go under without a bailout, if they are to be believed!. Ford restructured five years ago, and they'll be ok!. I bet a bunch of GM execs have been living a bit too firmly in the moment, if they didn't see that coming!. Don't they pay people billions of dollars a year to plan these things!?
And don't blame gas, because that's down to under 2 bucks again!.
It was just lousy planning and stunningly ignorant optimism, much like the whole market problem now!. Too much living in the now, not learning from the past, and not looking/planning for (if not outright ignoring) the future!.
It feels good to say, but simply isn't practical or realistic!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think it wold help tremendously!. For me living in the now does not mean I ignore what has happened or what might happen or that you live as if it were your last day on earth!. It means you know that all you really have is today and you should do your best to appreciate and make the most of that day without ruining it by obsessing over what is already happened or is coming in the future!.I wish I could be like my two little Yorkies and live in the moment!. Very good question!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I don't know there are good things in the past, just like there is now!. Some of the nice things to remember are things that are good about your parents, about some of your school days, Your wedding if you had one, the birth of your children!. I think you make things what they are in life, and how happy you want to make it or not!. Keep God and your faith, and love, and I think life is pretty great even when there are bumps in the road!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Absolutely:
NOT !
living in the now is a losers creed period!.
living in the now, as I understand it is being oblivious to the past and the future!.
For instance, lets say you get $1000!.00
living in the Now, you might go out and buy yourself and a few buddies a nice expensive lunch ect!.!.!. lets say $300!.00, and a plane ticket to lets say boston to merely watch the wales!? $100!.00 to rent a car for the day $100!.00 charter a boat to get a closer "living in the now view" of the wales!. $150!.00 lets say the remaining $300!.00 for a nice dinner for yourself and a lady friend and a hotel!.
Thats a " Living in the Now" day!.
The following day, your broke, which means your lady friend will be gone, you will not have a place to stay, and your stuck in Boston!?
Does this seem like a way to live!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

In my opinion yes i do!. Because if someone is worried about dying or anything like that then they are not focusing on what good times they do have going on in their life!. So i think that everyone should focus on one day at a time, and always think of the positives in your life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
yes i definitely do!. the past is either painful to remember because it sucked or because it was awesome and now it sucks!. the future is something we want but cant have at this moment so that causes us 'pain'!.!.!.!. when thinking about the present, my sayings are along the lines of we can't do anything about what's happening so just try to make the best of it and try to have fun at every second!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
