If I’m concerned about why I’ve changed in the way I have, I might start by being concerned about the places where I’ve been.

Tomorrow will be a culmination of all my today’s, not an escape from them.

To abandon the past is to throw away all of the elements that will build my future. And that creates a landfill I can’t afford to fill.

The present leans toward referencing itself. History references everything.

Our experiences are the building blocks of the future hewn out of the granite of the present.

A lifetime is a compilation of minutes. And you’ve got one right in front of you that has the power to correct the mess that you made of the one that just passed behind you.

In everything that I’ve left behind there lays everything that I need to move ahead. Therefore, the past need not be a trash-heap. Rather, it can be a treasure-trove.

What we forget is that the past is not a place to live. Rather, it is the place that gives us what we need to live more robustly in a present that will become an even more magical past if we let it be so.

Any road not informed by the past will certainly be an uncertain one.
