Do not dwell on the past. Focus on the precious moments and gracious future.

About This Quote

When we reminisce about the past, we think it’s important to live through what we remember. We forget that it’s not the past that has made us who we are. The present and the future are equally important because they give us a chance to make something out of our lives. Every day, we should focus on the future and what we can make it into. We can dwell on our past mistakes and wish we could go back and change them, but we cannot change the past and we do not need to dwell on it.
