If the past could be changed, it would not exist. If the future could be stopped, it would not survive. If the present could be avoided, it would not prevail.

About This Quote

The past is gone and cannot be changed, the future can’t be stopped and the present is the only thing we have. Think of it this way: If we could go back in time and change something in our lives, we would only cause ourselves pain and confusion. By living in the present, we can always choose to move forward and choose to rise.
