“Let the past make you better, not bitter.”– Buddha

It is your choice. You are not your past mistakes. You make mistakes, but don’t let your mistakes conquer you. It is not a crime to make a mistake. If you are not making mistakes, you are playing it too safe.

Remember this: “You are not living in the past; you are living in the moment.” If you want to enjoy this moment, forget your failures. Focus on what you have done right in your life.

You cannot be better than what you focus on at this moment. Your future depends on it. If you want tomorrow to be better than today, you must make today better than your yesterday.

You are not your failures. You are you. Celebrate it!

If you want to enjoy the moment, do not let the future disturb you. Pay attention to what is going on in your world. If you don’t focus on the moment, you will miss the future and the present. You don’t want to do that to yourself, right?

Your future is important to you and to the world. But if you spend your precious time thinking about tomorrow, you will miss what is happening around you. If you don’t know what is happening around you, how can you prepare yourself for a better future? How can you do that?

According to Marcus Aurelius, “Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapon which today arm you against the present.” If you want to have a better future, you must focus on what you are doing now. Are you?
