I have spoken about Buddhism and my approach to coaching, which uses one of the Buddha’s main tenets regarding living well: Everything is impermanent, and we are constantly renewing ourselves with every breath, changing constantly. This is a very different perspective than most of Western thinking, which looks toward the future or the past, and rarely the present. I wrote about how I came up with the concept of the Every Breath Paradigm, based on my understanding of Buddhist teachings, to help clients move forward.
Buddha frames the cause of unhappiness very nicely.
Not only are worldly things impermanent or temporary but they change moment to moment. Those are momentary. You cannot hold on to those (whether good or bad).
Then what is path to happiness.
The Holy Dalai Lama says and I quote vaguely "You cannot change your past, so no need to worry of past, you do not know what is coming in future, so no point worrying thinking too much on future"

Love the balance of focusing on ‘re-earning’ the things we value whilst letting go of the ‘past failures’.
