“You're always free to change your mind
and choose a different future, or a different past.”

“If you believe that feeling bad or worrying long enough will change a past or future event, then you are residing on another planet with a different reality system.”

“Always choose the future over the past. What do we do now?”

“To be free of time is to be free of the psychological need of past for your identity and future for your fulfillment.”

“Fate isn’t one straight road…there are forks in it, many different routes to different ends. We have the free will to choose the path.”

“If you understand this refrain, you're gonna' understand everything I want to say to you today. It has four parts:
Creativity and innovation always builds on the past.
The past always tries to control the creativity that builds upon it.
Free societies enable the future by limiting this power of the past.
Ours is less and less a free society.”

“The difference between past and future... cause and effect... memory and hope... regret and intention... in the elementary laws that describe the mechanisms of the world, there is no such difference.”

“It strikes me that this may be one of the differences between youth and age: when we are young, we invent different futures for ourselves; when we are old, we invent different pasts for others.”

“But you cannot change your past, no matter how you craft your future.”

“Even if it’s not your ideal life, you can always choose it. No matter what your life is, choosing it changes everything.”
