John Templeton Quotes

I really believe that our past can really hold us back from growth, so the best thing that we can do is MOVE ON and NOT DWELL.

We're never gonna move forward if we can't let go of things, especially things that don't happen to people today.

And all the things that break you are all the things that make you strong. You can't change the past 'Cause it's gone, and you just gotta move on.

Learning from our mistakes is critical for improving, but even I don't have patience for ranking my regrets. Regret is a negative emotion that inhibits the optimism required to take on new challenges. You risk living in an alternative universe, where if only you had done this or that differently, things would be better. That's a poor substitute for making your actual life better, or improving the lives of others. Regret briefly, analyze and understand, and then move on, improving the only life you have.

The future is meant for those who are willing to let go of the worst parts of the past. When you cannot take two steps without turning around to inspect your footsteps, you are getting nowhere fast.

Too many people live too much in the past. The past must be a springboard, not a sofa.

In order to live the life we desire, and set the intention for greater happiness and more meaningful connections with others, we have to release the hold that our past has on us

I try to not go over things from the past. Learn your lessons and then let it go.

The best way to get even with anyone is to put them in the rearview mirror on your way to something better.

It's a new day, a new beginning for your new life. With discipline you will be amazed at how much progress you'll be able to make. What have you got to lose except the guilt and fear of the past?

What is past is past. You can do nothing about yesterday and last month and the failures of last year, but you can do everything toward making tomorrow and the rest of your life what you always dreamed it could be.

You can’t move ahead until you bury the past.

Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could have been any different, it's accepting the past for what it was, and using this moment and this time to help yourself move forward.

You can wreck your future running from your past.

Don't allow your past or present condition to control you. It's just a process that you're going through to get you to the next level.

You are not defined by your past. You are prepared by your past.

To move forward today, you must learn to say good-bye to yesterday's hurts, tragedies and baggage. You can't build a monument to past problems and fail forward.

Quit worrying about people that are trying to hold you back. God knows how to move the wrong people out of your life and bring the right people in. He knows how to prepare you to Break Out.

Keep your life in a positive perspective. We are not defined by our pasts

I think it's a very healthy thing to learn from what's happened in the past. But only if you look at what happened and think, 'How could I have dealt with that differently?' Then let it go.

You must learn from your past mistakes, but not lean on your past successes.

You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.

We all carry our past. But it is a case of getting on with your life and improving it, if you want to.

I don't have time for self-pity. I don't see the point in dwelling on the past.

You can't live off your past.
