Whether one does X is often of little significance; “Why” it is done, and to what extent, is quite another matter. The past – whether of long ago, beyond the time of memory holding presently or of history being read about, or the past of one’s own kept in sequestered moments of reflective thought and in photographs carefully guarded and encased within a protective album of shelved remembrances – is a time behind; the future, an angst-filled uncertainty few of us look forward to.
It is the present, and how we treat it, spend it, work it and waist it away or labor furiously to appear “productive” about; and then, there are ruminations on the past.
That is where the “why” and the constant obsessions begin to overwhelm – of what we could have done differently, where we “went wrong” and what lessons can be gleaned for today. Ruminating on the past is a favorite pastime for many; but when it begins to destroy the future by robbing from the present, it is time to set aside such wasted efforts and begin to focus more upon one’s current situation in order to prepare for the future.
For Federal employees and U.S. Postal workers who suffer from a health condition such that the health condition prevents the Federal or Postal worker
Preparing a FERS Disability Retirement application with the U.S. Office of Personnel Management takes up a significant amount of time, effort and required focus upon gathering the necessary information, presenting the compelling facts and establishing the legal nexus between the medical conditions and the essential elements of one’s Federal or Postal position.
In doing so, ruminations on the past need to be suspended; angst-ridden obsessions about the future will need to be ignored; and only the “present” focus will become the necessary standard. Ruminations on the past can come about sometime in the future; it is the present concern about past from performing one or more of the essential elements of one’s Federal or Postal job, the time to set aside ruminations on the past can come about sometime in the future; it is the present concern about past events that will be significant in securing one’s future by preparing, formulating and filing an effective FERS Disability Retirement application.
Sincerely,
Robert R. McGill, Esquire
