Here's the real problem with the past...........it sucks up too much of the present. Regretting it, dealing with it, fearing it will repeat itself. Everytime you have a thought about the past (or future) that is a thought you can't have about the present.
So you end up with most of your thoughts trying to understand what you've done and where you're going and the whole time you only ever exisitng in the now, the right now and you're neglecting it, so the thoughts you have of the past (or fears of the future) actually build the present right now.
The past never exists unless you think of it in the present, right now, same with the future. You only ever have power in this present moment, that's it and that's all there is.
