Vanilla Ice Quotes

I try to just live my life and do my work, and the rest will just fall into place, as it may. As it will.

What I have to work with is the life that's ahead of me right this minute.

For a long time growing up, I thought that everything happens for a reason and it's kind of already written. But as I've grown and learned various things, I think that the most important moment is the one that you're in, and that's the only moment that matters, that you can really control. The future is unknown, and the past is history.

Life is accepting what is and working from that.

I don't believe in regrets; I believe your future is in your tomorrows.

You control what you can control.

I'm not about the past. I'm about the future and focusing on what you want in life.

You have to look at what you have right in front of you, at what it could be, and stop measuring it against what you've lost. I know this to be wise and true, just as I know that pretty much no one can do it.

I literally have no idea what's to come. I try to just stay in the moment.

Plan all you want for the future. Prepare for it. But don't worry about how you will react tomorrow, or even five minutes from now. Your creative mechanism will react appropriately in the 'now' if you pay attention to what is happening now.

I don't know what I'm going to be doing in two years or even in two weeks. I have to live for today.

Seek not to inquire what the morrow will bring with it.

There are two kinds of people: one who goes on thinking about the future, not bothering about the present at all. That future is not going to come, that future is just a fool's imagination.

Engage yourself in the living present. The future will take care of itself.

Man, like the bridge, was designed to carry the load of the moment, not the combined weight of a year at once.

When you don't flow freely with life in the present moment, it usually means that you're holding on to a past moment. It can be regret, sadness, hurt, fear, guilt, blame, anger, resentment, or sometimes even a desire for revenge. Each one of these states comes from a space of unforgiveness, a refusal to let go and come into the present moment. Only in the present moment can you create your future.
