“Excessive record-keeping is a symptom of insecurity and defensive thinking. It indicates that you are less concerned attaining objectives than you are with documentation, and that your thinking is oriented to the past, not the present.”

“To dwell in the here and now does not mean you never think about the past or responsibly plan for the future. The idea is simply not to allow yourself to get lost in regrets about the past or worries about the future. If you are firmly grounded in the present moment, the past can be an object of inquiry, the object of your mindfulness and concentration. You can attain many insights by looking into the past. But you are still grounded in the present moment.”

“Dnt Think About Past , THat It Was Better Than Present ,Always Think About Future, to Make It Better Than Past ....”

“Do not concern yourself with what you know or what you do not know. Do not think about the past or the future, merely allow God's hands to write the surprises of the present on each new day.”

“Your language indicates──and limits──what you think.”

“You think you're safe. Until you see a picture like that. And then you know you'll always be a slave to the present because the present is more powerful than the past, no matter how long ago the present happened.”
