No matter how much you stress or obsess about the past or future, you can't change either one. In the present is where your power lies.

About This Quote

When we think about the past and future we often focus on what we can’t change. We think that we can’t change the past and that we can’t change the future. We think that there is nothing we can do to make those things better. But as Nelson Mandela said, “In the present is where your power lies.” The present is where all of our power lies. It is our only shot at making things better.
