“Let not your heart be burdened with what is past and gone.”

“Your woman is gone and your heart is heavy. Words will not lighten the weight, and what is written is written. But let it also be put down that I grieve with you. ~Hasan~”

“If your mind carries a heavy burden of past, you will experience more of the same. The past perpetuates itself through lack of presence. The quality of your consciousness at this moment is what shapes the future.”

“..the heart's memory eliminates the bad and magnifies the good, and [that] thanks to this artifice we manage to endure the burden of the past”

“Live the present intensely and fully, do not let the past be a burden, and let the future be an incentive. Each person forges his or her own destiny.”

“When you live to lift the burdens of others, your own burdens become lighter. You are able to face your own trials with greater acceptance, a more understanding heart, and deeper gratitude for what you have rather than pining for what you lack.”
