Understanding the mind-celebrating life

Mind has two important faculties,memory and imagination.Memory is about the past and imagination is of the future.So,essentially two important faculties of the mind are taking us away from the reality which is"the present".Present is the only thing which we have.Each day and moment is never before and ever after.Today is may eighteenth 2020.This day comes only once in entire life.But memory of the mind fools us "ah ,it's the same old thing".
