Personal transformation is an internal job.No one can change you without you first wanting the change for yourself. The transformation starts in your thoughts! Only you can decide to change your thoughts and thus your behavior.
~ Michelle Word Hollis
No one can make you dwell on the past. Control your thoughts and actions! Make your own decisions! Just because someone keeps bringing up your past doesn’t mean you have to accept it --- you are not obligated to accommodate their recollections of you.
Don’t make excuses, accept responsibility. You must take responsibility for how you respond to everything that happens in your life, whether you cause it or not. Making excuses is a weak response!
