We have to learn to use the past in our advantage. We need to use the past as a boost on our motivation for what we are building.
We can’t change the past, but we can choose to remember what we want from it.
“The past always looks better than it was. It’s only pleasant because it isn’t here.”
– Finley Peter Dunne
Take 50 peoples that are witness to an event. Visit them 5 years later and you’ll find out that they all have their own memories of what did happen. And it will be 50 different memories. They’ll all tell the truth from what they remember.
If we use our past to boost our present positive action, we are using the past in a good way.
We all choose the way we use the past.
“Some of the best lessons we ever learn are learned from past mistakes. The error of the past is the wisdom and success of the future.”
– Dale Turner
