We can only be aware of the present. We can only remember the past and guess what the future holds. To be more like God is to take advantage of the now instead of trying to control what you can't change or stop. It is letting go of our grasp on anything but the present moment.
That's what I've been doing - it doesn't work in reality.
I don't want to be more like that, I want to be less like that.
My past, while littered with good and bad, is something I enjoy reflecting on, and I like to set my future self up, because I always appreciate it when my past self left me a spare key hidden, or a few dollars folded and tucked behind my driver's license. There's nothing inherently wrong with taking care of your future self. To do so, is to be more human, and more Godly.
