I think projecting how you think things may turn out in the future is a common and expected thing to do. Although you can't predict, I like to prepare myself for the 'wot ifs' in life even if they don't happen.
Plus we learn from past behaviour or events so to keep these lessons that are good examples close would only be natural.
Sure, we can attempt to live the present with no obstructions or outside influence, but would we not go around in circles reliving the past then? Otherwise, wouldn't you have done the past differently too? I'm off the track now aren't I. See! - circles.
