People who live in the past generally are afraid to compete in the present. I've got my faults, but living in the past is not one of them. There's no future in it.
The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.
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.
Letting go of your painful past is how you open yourself to a wonderful future.
Often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.
There is nothing you can do about the past except keep it there.
If you live in a past dream, you don't enjoy what is happening right now because you will always wish it to be different than it is. There is no time to miss anyone or anything because you are alive. Not enjoying what is happening right now is living in the past and being only half alive. This leads to self pity, suffering and tears.
Don't judge a person by their past. They don't necessarily live there anymore.
Most people are prisoners, thinking only about the future or living in the past. They are not in the present, and the present is where everything begins.
Nothing that happened before this moment has any power over you whatsoever, except to the extent to which you carry it into this moment. Dwell in the present with full forgiveness of yourself and others, and your life will be lifted to divine right order...perfection, prosperity and peace.
Unreasoning prejudices are bred out of the continual living in the past
I got my best foot forward onto greener grass, cause there ain't no future living in the past.
The ability to be in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness.
Perfecting the past blurs your focus of the future.
Whatever worked in the past, build on it; whatever didn't work in the past, break the chain that binds you to it.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
One must always maintain one's connection to the past and yet ceaselessly pull away from it.
One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.
With the past, I have nothing to do; nor with the future. I live now.
Insisting on living in your past will kill your future. Let it go.
I realise there's something incredibly honest about trees in winter, how they're experts at letting things go.
If you are at peace, you are living in the present.
... negative feelings are not true feelings at all; rather, they are your thoughts about something, based always on the previous experience of yourself and others. You will not find Truth in your past data, only past data that is based on other past data that is based on other past data, and so forth. Forget your "past experience" and look directly at the experience you are having. Right Here, Right Now. There is your Truth.
My soul is not a palace of the past.
Your future starts today. Don’t go through life looking in the rearview mirror. Your life is filled with possibility.
