Dwell: to linger over, to live in the past. But what value does it hold? Little to none. Dwelling is the art of being stuck, replaying what cannot be changed, trapped in ‘what ifs’ and ‘was.’
Yet, consider the alternative: living in the present, stepping out from the shadows of yesterday into the light of today. The past shapes us but doesn’t define us. Our power lies in the now, in seizing the moment and moving forward.
To dwell is to be ‘dead’ to the present, but the choice is ours. We can remain tied to memories or embrace the living, breathing moment we are in. The past is a lesson, not a life sentence.
Why fill our days with bygones? Life is happening now—embrace it, shape it, live it. After all, life moves forward, not backward.
Are we moving, or are we standing still? What do you hold onto?
