The title of this text is a quote from one of my previous posts entitled “Is it possible to force creativity?”
This quote, in many ways, serves as the guiding principle of my blog. Â It encapsulates my belief in the importance of living in the present and not being burdened by the past or future. My personal experiences have played a significant role in shaping my views. The “Is it possible to force creativity?” text was published on the 21st of December, 2024. The “I do not analyze the past and worry about the future” text I wrote on the 17th of May, 2025. Why did I come back to this text six months after its release? Because I noted the quote after reading the published text. Then, after six months, while not having anything special to write, I decided to return to some of my notes from the past, and that’s how I started writing the current text.
As you can see, my Dear Friend, time is crucial regarding working on my blog.
Practically all the texts you read on this blog were written in the past. The exception was the “War in Ukraine” series, which I started to write and publish after the full-scale war in Ukraine erupted. The title of this text also refers to time. Did anything change in terms of analyzing the past and worrying about the future? No. I still have the same approach to this topic. I always try to live here and now, without overthinking about times that were gone or the ones that would never happen.
The truth is that I worry only about future deadlines in my professional job (remember, my Dear Friend, I work in a broadly defined finance area). I believe it is not worth overthinking the past and future, because it simply does not make sense anyhow. Those who do it, perhaps do not live as much as they could, because they are not focused on when and how they are in the current time.
