Solution Focused Brief Therapy is something you should look into.

Thinking of your life should be as a pie chart. 70% should be focused on the present. 20% should be focused on the future. And 10% should look back on the past for things to learn from.

A little Kung Fu philosophy...

If one dwells on the past, then one robs the present. But if a person ignores the past, they may rob the future. The seeds of our destiny are nurtured by the roots of our past.
