“We rest; a dream has power to poison sleep.
We rise; one wand’ring thought pollutes the day.
We feel, conceive, or reason; laugh or weep,
Embrace fond woe, or cast our cares away;
It is the same: for, be it joy or sorrow,
The path of its departure still is free.
Man’s yesterday may ne’er be like his morrow;
Nought may endure but Mutability!”
―Percy Bysshe Shelley
Future
Starting Over Is An Acceptance…
“Starting over is an acceptance of a past we can’t change, an unrelenting conviction that the future can be different, and the stubborn wisdom to use the past to make the future what the past was not.” ―Craig D. Lounsbrough
I Have Learned
“I have learned that if you must leave a place that you have lived in and loved and where all your yesteryears are buried deep, leave it any way except a slow way, leave it the fastest way you can. Never turn back and never believe that an hour you remember is a better hour because it is dead. Passed years seem safe ones, vanquished ones, while the future lives in a cloud, formidable from a distance.” ―Beryl Markham
Never Let Your Fear…
“Never let your fear decide your future.” –Unknown
You Can’t Stop The Future
“You can’t stop the future.
You can’t rewind the past.
The only way to learn the secret…is to press play.”
―Jay Asher
Today
“Today I close the door to the past, open the door to the future, take a deep breath, step on through and start a new chapter in my life.” —Unknown Author
You Can Build A Future…
“You can build a future out of anything. A scrap, a flicker. The desire to go forward, slowly, one foot at a time.” -Lauren Oliver
Creating A Vision Board
“Creating a vision board is one of the most valuable visualization tools available to you. This powerful tool serves as your image of the future – a tangible representation of where you are going. It represents your dreams, your goals, and your ideal life.” —Jack Canfield
It’s Being Here Now That’s Important
“It’s being here now that’s important. There’s no past and there’s no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can’t relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don’t know if there is one.” —George Harrison
The Reason People Find…
“The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be.” –Marcel Pagnol
