“Unless you can change the past, you’re wasting the present on this guilt”
“You cannot change the past. All you can do is change the way you allow the past to affect your present and future.”
“The only thing you can change about the past is how you feel about it in the present.”
“You can't make sense of the present unless a part of you lives in the past.”
“It isn't what you did in the past that will affect the present. It's what you do in the present that will redeem the past and thereby change the future.”
“You can’t change the past. You can’t even change the future, in the sense that you can only change the present one moment at a time, stubbornly, until the future unwinds itself into the stories of our lives.”
