“‎You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest that it leaves your arms too full to embrace the present.”

“The arms of love encompass you with your present, your past, your future, the arms of love gather you together.”

“Your dream is a reality that is waiting for you to materialize. Today is a new day! Don’t let your history interfere with your destiny! Learn from your past so that it can empower your present and propel you to greatness”

“How can you grow with your present to get ready for your future if you continue to live in your past and all that it contains.”

“A person shows signs of clutching on too fast, of being needy, of not hearing the word "no," of jealousy, of guarding you and your freedom. But the signs can be so small they skitter right past you. Sometimes they dance past, looking satiny, something you should applaud. Someone's jealousy can make you feel good. Special. But it's not even about you. It's about a hand that is already gripping. It's about their need, circling around your throat”

“Make peace with your past so you don't mess up the present!”
