I do. It kinda makes me feel like I can stop my mistakes before they happen. Who needs a time machine anyway?

I dont mean to confuse you, but by thinking of this as a past of the future to fix your mistakes creates a new future, therefore the old future is no longer a future at all, meaning that no future was altered, and therefore it was not the past of the future at all. However none of that is important. The important part is that you fixed the mistake, and possibly what would of happened if you didn't. Im in over my head so im going to stop typing now.

Some days pull your thoughts back in time - to old boyfriends/girlfriends...and with the net, it's all too easy to see what they're "up to." On this kind of day, you're not moving forward, but you may realize that yesterday doesn't matter so much...and propels you towards the future.
Some people get caught up in society's STAY fit STAY young LOOK young LOOK thin LOOK thinner. This obsession with youth (and not healthy aging) may actually make one feel old or not vital.
So depending upon the person, and that particular day...Oh. I thought you made a typo, but you're really talking about rummaging for past examples to deal with a present situation. It can be done, but the scene outside may be, ie., a person who doesn't recognize your different approach 'cause it's all about them.

Very interesting perspective used here!
But why not the begining of eternity....
sort of like the glass is half empty or half full!
I once heard this... yesterday is history tommorow is a mystery today is a gift... and that's why it's called the present...
concentrate on the now Questions are the answers... good one!

I look at today as being past, present and future all in one. The present is the past of the future, but it is also the future of the past. Therefore, today is definitely all 3: Past, present & future.

Rarely I like to live today for what it will bring, what it will teach me, I would like to make all the right choices but sometimes mistakes are the best teachers we have. learning from today is what will make one wiser tomorrow.

I do, but then again, things always look different from hindsight. However, I agree that all actions will lead to consequences, so the choice is yours.

That's a good way to put it lol. Personally I'd call it the present :-P

today doesn't have any relationship with tomorrow and future
today is just today
