but if you focus on the past, will the future pass you by?

If you focus on the present, will you learn from the past to live in the future?

Yes to both.
To live in the present is an art I wish I could master.
I only exist in this moment. The future may never be, the past is gone.

The past affects the way you live your life in the present and from the present it affects your future. You shouldn't forget one or focus on one too much because you need to focus on all three. You remember the memories, the experiences, the challenges, the mistakes and the successes (your past) and that is what you use to base your actions on. The future depends on you and what tomorrow brings~ Hope that somewhat helps xD Oh and a tip: you shouldn't dwell on the future too much, because it has yet to happen...and the past has already come and gone..live the present as it comes.

If you focus on the the future, you won't forget the past fully.
If you focus on the past, the future will Definitely pass you.

You are dancing on it. All life experience is "NOW" watch your actions Now, Take needed actions Now, history repeats itself,until we learn the lessons involved. Watch your desires, actions in thoughts and deeds NOW for they are the Chain links of Now that create you future life circumstances and destiny. Don't look back. Don't antisipate the future. If God gives you the thought NOW to do some future action, do each step at the proper Now until it is done. Each minute you spend dwelling on the past or future you lose a minute of your life. How many minutes have you thus lost??

traumatic experiences in the past are to be forgotten and we should dream of beautiful future but one should not forget the fact that to build a house, foundation is necessary and the foundation stone for a bright future is glorious past.

nothing ever happened in the past, and nothing will ever happen in the future...everything can only happen in the present...
