“The time is now, the place is here. Stay in the present. You can do nothing to change the past, and the future will never come exactly as you plan or hope for.”– Dan Millman

The time to forget your past failures is now. The place to do it is right here, right where you are. Allow yourself to forget the past. The past is gone. There is nothing you can do about it. You can’t bring it back. No, you can’t.

Whatever may have happened to you in the past, let it go. Do not walk around with your past disappointments. It hurts!

The only thing you can do something about is NOW. The only place to start it is right here, right now. You can do something to change your present, but you can’t do anything to change your past. If that is the case, then why are you worrying yourself about what you cannot change?

To enjoy your life, you must do what you can to change your present. You must not worry yourself about your past failures. When you are always worrying yourself about your past, you become too focused on your failures. Stop doing that to yourself. You can’t change your past, but you can change yourself. That is what you should do. The choice is yours.

Life Isn’t About Searching For Love. Life Is About This One Thing

Love is about acceptance. If you don’t accept yourself. it simply means you don’t love yourself. And if you want to do great things in life, tie it to self-love. Because we cannot do anything productive with ourselves without self-love. It is the beginning of everything.

Self-love is self-acceptance. No matter what you are going through, no matter what people may have told you in the past, no matter what you are telling yourself, the best way forward is to love yourself. Learn to love yourself. Do not wait for other to love you. They are not going to do it for you. You are responsible for making yourself happy. You are responsible for giving yourself real love. So why not now?

Why not give yourself love now? Are you postponing your love? Remember that love is not something you postpone. It is something you give to yourself. It is something you practice every day. Love is not in the future. It is in the now, in the moment. If you are not loving yourself now, if you are not accepting yourself now, when are you going to have the courage, the confidence to practice self-love? When?

The answer is NOW! Because life is about giving ourselves love. It depends upon ourselves.
