You cannot see the past that did not happen any more than you can foresee the future.
Live today. Let go of your attachment to your past as an excuse for your life conditions today. You are the product of the choices you are making right now.
The more you are focused on time-past and future-the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.
Four things do not come back: the spoken word, the sped arrow, the past life, and the neglected opportunity.
Forget the past - the future will give you plenty to worry about.
Don't worry about the past and don't try to solve the future.
He doesn't know which is worse, a past he can't regain or a present that will destroy him if he looks at it too clearly. Then there's the future. Sheer vertigo.
Our whole energy remains blocked either in the past or in the future. When you withdraw all your energy from past and future a tremendous explosion happens.
Whatever you are doing, don't let past move your mind;don't let future disturb you. Because the past is no more, and the future is not yet.
I don't believe in living in the past. Living in the past is for cowards. If you live in the past, you die in the past.
Don't ruin the present with the ruined past.
You can't change the past so don't let it haunt you. You can change the future but first you've got to want to.
A great NOW will be a great WAS! A bad NOW will always be a bad WAS, and all you can hope for is a Great GONNA BE!
To be haunted by past failures or satisfied with past successes is to arrest forward motion.
Link yourself to your potential, not to your past.
The past was gone and the future had yet to unfold, and he knew he should focus his life on the present. Yet his day-to-day existence suddenly struck him as endless and unbearable.
Some there are that torment themselves afresh with the memory of what is past; others, again, afflict themselves with the apprehension of evils to come; and very ridiculously both - for the one does not now concern us, and the other not yet ... One should count each day as a separate life.
I don't think in the past. I don't think in the future. You grasp the moment.
It is yesterday that makes tomorrow so sad.
Usually, people have a tendency to be caught in the worries concerning the future or in the regret concerning the past. There is some kind of energy that is pushing them to run, and they are not able to establish themselves in the present moment.
I must have been a failed football coach in a previous incarnation.
You can’t change the past. You can’t even change the future, in the sense that you can only change the present one moment at a time, stubbornly, until the future unwinds itself into the stories of our lives.
We can never found the soul, just as we can never wound God, but we become imprisoned by our memories, and that makes our lives wretched, even when we have everything we need in order to be happy.
Glorify who you are today, do not condemn who you were yesterday, and dream of who you can be tomorrow.
I don't carry the burden of the past or the madness of the future. I live in the present.
