The mind loves to hold onto the illusion that it has control over situations and to immerse itself in thought. In reality, your thoughts are just a tiny piece of who you are. You are actually the awareness that witnesses those thoughts. As soon as you begin to observe the patterns of your thoughts and refrain from identifying with or judging them, you can enter a state of joy and peace.
Mindfulness will allow you to immerse yourself in the experiences happening right now. Of course, having an idea of what your future will be like, and learning from your past is important. Yet, pausing to shift your mind to the present gives you power to continue moving forward effectively.
