"Don't Let the Past Shape Your Future"

HERE is a nice article on the idea of not letting the past shape our future.

"Live in the present moment, not in the past. The past is past. Don’t let it affect your present thoughts and feelings and the situations of your future."

"Live in the present moment, creating new thoughts, and new expectations, not only about money, work or relationships, but also about health, happiness, and spirituality. These new thoughts, which you think in the present, would mold your future."

Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see possibilities - always see them, for they're always there. ~ Norman Vincent Peale

Quotes that offer up some positive encouragement are like little lovebites for the soul.  I found this quote by
Peale and was reminded that the world offers so many opportunities, as long as we have a resilient spirit and keep creating possibilities.

We can all write a few wrongs ~ Kenneth Cole.

I love how the homophone creates a double entendre in this quote I borrowed from the Kenneth Cole website.

The Physics of the Quest, a quote from Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat Pray Love.

"In the end, I've come to believe in something I call "The Physics of the Quest." A force in nature governed by laws as real as the laws of gravity. The rule of Quest Physics goes something like this: If you're brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting, which can be anything from your house to bitter, old resentments, and set out on a truth-seeking journey, either externally or internally, and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue and if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher and if you are prepared, most of all, to face and forgive some very difficult realities about yourself, then the truth will not be withheld from you."

Bad decisions make good stories.
