“Don't think about the past. Just be here now.”
— Ram Dass

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, worrying about things that have already happened can stop us from enjoying what's happening right now. Imagine you're at a birthday party, but you are thinking about a mistake you made last week. If you keep thinking about that mistake, you can't have fun at the party with your friends. It's like carrying a heavy backpack everywhere; it slows you down and makes you tired. By focusing on the present, you can enjoy the moment and be happier. So, if you catch yourself thinking too much about past problems, take a deep breath and look around you. Notice the good things happening now and make the most of them.
