You can change!

We cannot change the past. We can only change the way we see it and how we keep on reacting to it. The past can hunt us as long as we let it do so.

To stop the past from influencing the present, we must forgive. Forgiveness is a powerful way to act in the present and change what shall come next.

“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”

- Mahatma Gandhi

First, what needs to be forgiven, is you. Yes, whatever had happened, whatever your involvement in it was, you need to forgive yourself first. Then, and only then will you find the strength to change the influence it has on your present.

“When you forgive, you in no way change the past - but you sure do change the future.”

- Bernard Meltzer

There is no guaranty that forgiving will help anyone else, but it will surely help you. 

Incarnate peace

If you want peace in the world, then become the incarnation of peace.

“You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”

 - Mahatma Gandhi

Don’t wait for something to come up and change what you would want to change. Don’t wait, don’t expect or hope, if you want something to change, you’ll have to take action on it.

“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.”

 - Barack Obama

Don’t fight against change, work along with it so you get the better out of it. Action can’t assure your success, but it gives you a lot more chances that you’ll get what you want.

Being idle is like surfing the wave of the ocean without any way to navigate and hoping to get where you want.
