The past will be your teacher if you learn from it; your master if you live in it.

Learn from the past, but don’t live in the past.

Learn from your history, but don’t live in it.

My past has not defined me, destroyed me, deterred me, or defeated me; it has only strengthened me.

There is no humility in calling yourself a Christian; placing Christ in the role of colleague. The humility lies in the truth of your imperfection and a more accurate description as a student of Christianity; placing Christ back in the role as head teacher.

You can't fully enjoy THESE moments until you let go of past moments.
