2. I think you should acknowledge that you have a past

But don’t dwell on it. By all means there is no right way or wrong way to think about it. Know you are thinking about it without judgement and examine those thoughts.

The future is not here but again do not dwell on it. Know you are thinking about the future without judgment and examine those thoughts.

None of us are enlightened so I would not be concerned with how an enlightened person deals with past and future.

Those are my thoughts about it.

I try to live in the present by watching what is going on without judgement. That is how I practice mindfulness. That is when ever I can remember to do it.
