“I'm going to tell you a secret. Our lives are shaped by the future, not by the past. Once you decide how you want your life to be, all you need to do is live into that future.”

“If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present.”

“I'm not very good at keeping secrets at all! If you want your secret kept do not tell me!”

“If you are living in the past or in the future, you will never find a meaning in the present.”

“All beings are not only the parents in the past.
They will become the Buddha in the future.
If you free their lives, you are Buddha.”

“Let your every moment be always better than the past, you live in the present for the future, you live with love, music, happiness and above all courage in difficult times.”

“While you have a future do not live too much in contemplation of your past: unless you are content to walk backward the mirror is a poor guide.”

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

“If you intend to change, decide what you want and live your life accordingly.”

“"Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia."
"Huh?" I asked.
"You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present."”
