Live today. Not yesterday. Not tomorrow. Just today. Inhabit your moments. Don’t rent them out to tomorrow. Do you know what you’re doing when you spend a moment wondering how things are going to turn out with Perry?You’re cheating yourself out of today. Today is calling to you, trying to get your attention, but you’re stuck on tomorrow, and today trickles away like water down a drain. You wake up the next morning and that today you wasted is gone forever. It’s now yesterday. Some of those moments may have had wonderful things in store for you , but now you’ll never know. Jerry Spinelli
About This Quote

The quote above is very true. The idea that the past is not something that we can change or go back to, but that it has already happened and there is no way to change it. The past is the past and you cannot go back in time to change it. What we can do with our memories is use them to make better ones in the future.

It’s important for us to realize that the things we do today matter so much more than what happened yesterday, because they are part of our life, and they are something we can truly be proud of. If you put your best efforts into today, you won't regret anything in the future.
