The past has a claim to the present, and it comes to claim it.
The past was here first, and it is the start of what is.
The past is stubborn and unyielding.
To own the present and shape it, you must be ready to lose a part of you that the past knows you hold dear.
If you have the courage to lose it, you will gain it a thousand fold.
The trick the past uses is that we fear loss more than we value gain. Fear is literally blinding.
Close your eyes if you have to, but break through the barrier of fear. Own the present. Create a new past. Shape the future.
