Mark Lawrence Quotes

One can never change the past, only the hold it has on you.

I don't regret anything. Everything happens for a reason-it's part of the healing process. Life is a healing process.

If you don't make peace with your past it will keep showing up in your present.

You're so ashamed of your past; drop it! You're so proud of your past; drop it!

I have no regrets, none whatsoever.

You can't spend your life beating yourself up for something that happened yesterday. You die if you don't follow your desire.

Most of us need time to work through pain and loss. We can find all manner of reasons for postponing forgiveness. One of these reasons is waiting for the wrongdoers to repent before we forgive them. Yet such a delay causes us to forfeit the peace and happiness that could be ours.

If we can't face our losses, we can't be present either fully to everything that is. When people have cut off or not made peace with some part of themselves, they miss out on other aspects of life.

It took me a while to learn the true meaning of patience and surrender, but I have finally accepted that healing doesn't happen on our schedule. It doesn't have a clock or a calendar.

The biggest lesson I’ve learned is, “It’s okay.” It’s okay for me to be kind to myself. It’s okay to be wrong. It’s okay to get mad. It’s ok to be flawed. It’s okay to be happy. It’s okay to move on.

The door to my heart opens inward. I move through forgiveness to love.

Forgive yourself and forgive others around you.
