About This Quote

We all have past experiences that have shaped us into the person we are today. However, the past is not always what it seems. It is not the way we wished it had been and it is not a lesson we learned by heart and can use to guide us into our future. The past is simply a part of the present and must be dealt with just like any other present experience.

If we allow the past to hold onto the future, we will get less than what we deserve out of life. We will get less than what we could have if we did not let go of our past and instead used it to shape us into who we could be.
