You knew me. You knew that person, but you don't know the person I'm trying to become... You are not your past!

You aren't your past, you are probability of your future.

The past is never where you think you left it: you are not the same person you were yesterday

Create your future from your future, not your past.

You are not a lottery ticket.

You are not your circumstances. You are your possibilities.

It is a mistake to think that the past is dead. Nothing that has ever happened is quite without influence at this moment. The present is merely the past rolled up and concentrated in this second of time. You, too, are your past; often your face is your autobiography; you are what you are because of what you have been; because of your heredity stretching back into forgotten generations; because of every element of environment that has affected you, every man or woman that has met you, every book that you have read, every experience that you have had; all these are accumulated in your memory, your body, your character, your soul. So with a city, a country, and a race; it is its past, and cannot be understood without it.

You are not your resume, your neighborhood, your grades, your mis-takes, your body, your roles or titles. All these things are not you because they are change-able. There is a part of you that is indefinable and changeless, that does not get lost or change with age, disease, or circumstances.
There is an authenticity you were born with, have lived with, and will die with. You are simply, wonder-fully, you.

At any moment when you are you, you are you without the memory of yourself because if you remember yourself while you are you, you are not for the purposes of creating you.

The past is never where you think you left it.

None of us are ever who we were yesterday.

We are not merely more weary because of yesterday, we are other, no longer what we were before the calamity of yesterday.

You are what you are not and are not what you are.

Never be a prisoner of your past. Become the architect of you future. You will never be the same.
