Well, have you even tried again? You can’t just sit around waiting for the new world to take it with you. You have to go out and be part of it - despite your past mistakes.

About This Quote

Yes, life is full of many challenges. However, trying to overcome these challenges in your own strength is one thing that you will never be able to do. Only when you are willing to take complete responsibility of your life and get rid of all the regrets and failures of the past will you be able to get over the hurdles of the present. If you keep on waiting for tomorrow to take care of your problems, then it is highly probable that you will never find a solution.
