You fear tomorrow: yet yesterday is just as dangerous.

Idries Shah
About This Quote

The past is always the past. It isn’t like you can do anything about it. You can’t change it or make it better. The past is what it is, and the only things you can do are learn from it and understand it.

So what do you do? You live in the present. The danger of yesterday is no more than the danger of tomorrow. If you live in the present you will never be afraid of tomorrow.
