Don’t let past disappointments rob you of future happiness.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
If the past could be changed, it would not exist. If the future could be stopped, it would not survive. If the present could be avoided, it would not prevail.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
You are the architect of your future, you decide whether you build a hut or a palace.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Don’t mourn over the past; it has no pity for you. Don’t cry over the present; it has no sympathy for you; and don’t weep over the future, it has no mercy on you.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
The struggles of the past are the gateway to the blessings of the future.

Positive thinking is powerful thinking. If you want happiness, fulfillment, success and inner peace, start thinking you have the power to achieve those things. Focus on the bright side of life and expect positive results.

No matter how dysfunctional your background, how broke or broken you are, where you are today, or what anyone else says, YOU MATTER, and your life matters!
~ Germany Kent
No one else knows exactly what the future holds for you, no one else knows what obstacles you've overcome to be where you are, so don't expect others to feel as passionate about your dreams as you do.

You see it as me going back. I see it as me staying on track.

Take it easy. Live life- one day at a time. It is only when we add the regrets of 'yesterday' and worries of the 'future' to the 'present' that we end up complicating things...
~ Anurag Shourie
We cannot change the past. We can only take action in the present and, therefore, change the future.
~ Ken Poirot
Advances in technology can be empowering, progressive and enriching. History has shown this across civilisations and societies. But it has also shown, and the present and future will continue to show, that it is foolish, risky, flawed and folly without us raising our individual and collective consciousness and mindfulness to accompany it - to ensure we use it shrewdly, kindly and wisely.
~ Rasheed Ogunlaru
We were the only two people in the entire airport who lost total track of time, for we were consumed by space-time at that present moment. Time was irrelevant to our existence, for we didn’t want to exist outside the tight and glorious knots of each other’s arms. Time is basically an illusion created by the mind to aid in our sense of temporal presence in the vast ocean of space. Without the neurons to create a virtual perception of the past and the future based on all our experiences, there is no actual existence of the past and the future. All that there is, is the present.
~ Abhijit Naskar
What you do for others today you have done for yourself tomorrow.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Casting a curious gaze down on planet Earth, extra-terrestrial beings could well be forgiven for assuming that we humans are programmed in every move we make, by a palm-sized, oblong, slab of glass. More perplexing than that, who on earth could convince them otherwise ?
~ Alex Morritt
Keep expecting and believing that your due season is coming. Declare that the good you have harvested in your life will manifest.

Forgive those who hurt you yesterday.Reward those who help you today.Remember those who help you tomorrow.

Be wise enough to learn from the past, shrewd enough to capitalize on the present, and clever enough to prepare for the future.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
They know your face, but not your mind.They understand your words, but not your heart.They hear your name, but not your soul.They grasp your past, but not your future.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
The past is your teacher. The present is your opportunity. The future is your reward.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Yesterday says, “Forget me, but learn from me.” Today says, “Embrace me, yet utilize me.”Tomorrow says, “Anticipate me, then prepare for me.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
You are better than your past, greater than your present, and brighter than your future.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Let go of the past, even if it offers you Heaven; embrace the future, even if it offers you Hell.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Dear past, I survived you. Dear present, I’m ready for you. Dear future, I’m coming for you.
~ Matshona Dhliwayo
We do not get to choose how we start out in life. We do not get to choose the day we are born or the family we are born into, what we are named at birth, what country we are born in, and we do not get to choose our ancestry. All these things are predetermined by a higher power. By the time you are old enough to start making decisions for yourself, a lot of things in your life are already in place. It’s important, therefore, that you focus on the future, the only thing that you can change.
~ Idowu Koyenikan
A seed today is a forest tomorrow.

Live for your dreams, not your memories.
