Past
(page 4)
Do not brood over your past mistakes and failures as this will only fill your mind with grief, regret and depression. Do not repeat them in the future.
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 like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.
See, when you drive home today, you've got a big windshield on the front of your car. And you've got a little bitty rearview mirror. And the reason the windshield is so large and the rearview mirror is so small is because what's happened in your past is not near as important as what's in your future.
We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future.
The past always looks better than it was. It's only pleasant because it isn't here.
Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.
By forgetting the past and by throwing myself into other interests, I forget to worry.
A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.
Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.
The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power.
Keep looking up! I learn from the past, dream about the future and look up. There's nothing like a beautiful sunset to end a healthy day.
I'm looking forward to the future, and feeling grateful for the past.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
When you forgive, you in no way change the past - but you sure do change the future.
