Ida Scott Taylor once wrote: Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering.

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The passage counsels against mourning what is over or fretting about what hasn't happened, since neither exists now. Instead it urges full attention to the present, asking that it be lived so richly that it will later be a pleasure to recall.
