The past has no power to prevent you from being present. 

Only your resentment toward the past can do that. 

What is resentment? 

The baggage of old thoughts and emotions.

~ Lao Tzu ~

"Remember just one thing: that you—and no one else—

determine your destiny and decide your fate.

No one else can live for you;

nor can you live for anyone else."

~ EE Cummings ~

Life is made up of failures and successes. 

Be the person who encourages others at both ends, 

because life is never 100 percent perfect.

~ Torron-Lee Dewar ~

“Choosing not to enjoy moments meant 

for joy doesn’t exempt you from 

the suffering that may follow. 

Time you let slip away is never recovered. 

It’s your loss if you choose not to make the most of it.”

~ Philosopher DJ Kyos~
