Living In The Past

When a person consistently talks about the past, why does he or she do this? is it because he or she misses the past?, is it because his or her past was not much to remember? are is it because if someone does not know your past that gives you the opportunity to lie or exaggerate about your accomplishments?. I think it's the latter. You can lie and exaggerate about how good you were in sports, life or even how successful you were at business. I am not saying their is something wrong with reminiscing, I am just saying what is wrong with individuals that live in the past? When I walk away from this level of football I will have no regrets, I have accomplished everything you can at this level. 1. I played for 6 years 2. I made an all star team 3. I started 3 franchises 4. Coached 2 different franchises to the play-offs. 5. Coached on an all star team staff. and 6. Started a semi-pro League. The only thing is missing is a championship. My goal is to win that this year. If I retire without winning one then it is what it is, but I will know that I was able to do it all except for winning the championship, but what I won't do is live in the past and tell stories of what I did or what I could have done. In the end I will live in the present and prepare myself for the future, and watch my kids grow, and be active in of all their lives and be the great father that I am. Can you do the same ?
