Press Forth

It merely occurred to me, so I am sharing - - -

Many people have come to consider Nobel prize winner Albert Einstein with great revere regarding physics, at least. If Mr. Einstein were to say something to the effect of, "The one thing I know - - -," that one thing would receive great deference by a wide audience

Many people have come to consider the apostle Paul with great revere regarding knowledge and practice of the Christ Jesus and His Way

So, if this Paul were to say something to the effect of, "The one thing I know - - -," should not that one thing require deference?

Philippians 03:13b ". . . one thing -- the things behind indeed forgetting, and to the things before stretching forth -- . . .." (Young's literal translation)

Seems that while one may learn from past experience, one should not dwell in the past. Once the lesson is learned, dismiss the past. Rather than dwell in the past, one should look to the future and become prepared to meet the future. There is no present; only an interface between future and nothing

A rhetorical, perhaps a caution, to what extent do you dwell in the past; to what greater extent should you press to the future?
