Ziggy Marley Quotes

You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.

I believe that life is short, and there is too much time wasted bearing grudges, and I like to move on.

I don't care how my past was or what I had to go through.

I try not to look back on my life and be regretful.

I'm not sure what the future holds but I do know that I'm going to be positive and not wake up feeling desperate. As my dad said 'Nic, it is what it is, it's not what it should have been, not what it could have been, it is what it is.'

My biggest regret is rolling in regret. It is best to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and move on.

People say I've had a difficult time in life. I think I've had an exciting time in life.

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

I'm an incurable optimist, and I'm a great believer in never looking back. Life is too short, and new challenges are exciting.

I'm living with every step. I can't live with regret. The past is the past. I'm not worried about it. I can't change it. I can't fix it. It is what it is. I'm just living.

You can't undo the past... but you can certainly not repeat it.

There have been ups and downs over the years, but that's in the past, and now I'm just looking forward and focussed on the future ahead.

My past is just that, my past. I try to not think about it and only keep moving forward.

I never think about the past. Why waste time thinking about something I cannot change.

I'm going to look forward to the future as opposed to looking back at the past.

I can't dwell on the past. It's over, there's nothing I can do about it.

Learning from our mistakes is critical for improving, but even I don't have patience for ranking my regrets. Regret is a negative emotion that inhibits the optimism required to take on new challenges. You risk living in an alternative universe, where if only you had done this or that differently, things would be better. That's a poor substitute for making your actual life better, or improving the lives of others. Regret briefly, analyze and understand, and then move on, improving the only life you have.

Accept the past as past, without denying it or discarding it.

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

I think it's a very healthy thing to learn from what's happened in the past. But only if you look at what happened and think, 'How could I have dealt with that differently?' Then let it go.

Life is full of regrets, but it doesn't pay to look back.

Some of the best lessons we ever learn are learned from past mistakes. The error of the past is the wisdom and success of the future.

I don't harp on what I could change about the past, because I can't go back and change it. But definitely a lot of things I would change.

By nature, I'm a person who always says that whatever I've done, I could've done better. But I don't dwell on it because I'm waiting for the next time something happens and try to believe that my past experience will have helped to educate me in terms of how I deal with future ones.

Let us not be bitter about the past, but let us keep our eyes firmly on the future.
