Pat Benatar Quotes

All the strength and succour you want is within yourselves. Therefore make your own future. "Let the dead past bury its dead." The infinite future is before you.

Don't use the hardships of your past as excuses to deny the possibilities of your future.

You are not defined by your past. You are prepared by your past.

I tried never to be defined by my past.

The future is meant for those who are willing to let go of the worst parts of the past. When you cannot take two steps without turning around to inspect your footsteps, you are getting nowhere fast.

Link yourself to your potential, not to your past.

The first step is to fill your life with positive faith that will help you through anything. The second step is to start where you are.

Everyone has got to realise you can't hold onto the past if you want any future. Each second should lead to the next one.

I really believe that our past can really hold us back from growth, so the best thing that we can do is MOVE ON and NOT DWELL.

You can wreck your future running from your past.

That's what courage is. Taking your disappointments and your failures, your guilt and your shame, all the wounds received and inflicted, and sinking them in the past. Starting again. Damning yesterday and facing tomorrow with your head held high. Times change. It's those that see it coming, and plan for it, and change themselves to suit, that prosper.

Don't allow your past or present condition to control you. It's just a process that you're going through to get you to the next level.

First tell yourself what you want to be, then do what you need to do.

And all the things that break you are all the things that make you strong. You can't change the past 'Cause it's gone, and you just gotta move on.

Though I can't change what happened, I can choose how to react. And I don't want to spend the rest of my life being bitter and locked up.

Keep your life in a positive perspective. We are not defined by our pasts

Things don't weigh me down any more. I confront things, and I move on. I don't dwell on things; I don't let things simmer under the surface. I am where it starts and where it ends. I have the power in my life to be happy.

I'm not someone who lives in the past; I find other people live in my past. I live in the present and the future.

I can't live off of yesterday - that's in the past.

If there is someone in your life who is not serving you or making you better, give yourself permission to move on.

Never regret yesterday. Life is in you today and you make your tomorrow.

I absolutely love and respect the past, but I'm not a 'glory days' guy. I love where we've been and love where I'm at and going.

I am a big believer that whatever has gone lies in the past. You should only learn from it, and you should only look at the present and the future. That's been my father's philosophy and mine as well.

You have to live in the future, not the past.
