“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.”
— Buddha

Simplified Meaning:
Focusing too much on past mistakes or thinking too much about what might happen in the future can prevent us from enjoying and handling what's happening right now. Think about when you're playing a game. If you keep thinking about the mistakes you made earlier in the game, or worrying too much about how you'll finish, you won't play well in the moment. By paying attention to the present, you can make the best choices with what's right in front of you. This advice encourages taking things step by step. It's about doing your best now, rather than being distracted by what has already happened or what might happen later.
