" Never look for birds of this year in the nests of the last. "
- Miguel de Cervantes
What has gone, is gone and dwelling about the past can ruin your present. Even if you recall the good moments of the past, you are not experiencing the moments in present.
The quote describes it perfectly and states that never look for birds of this year in the nests of the last, which means never find your happiness while living in the past of how good it was. You must take charge of your life and start improving your present. The past can not be changed or reverted back, but the future is in your power and that will only be shaped if you focus on now.
It's okay to think about your past sometimes but don't stay there.
