"There is a fine balance between honoring..." - Quote by Eckhart Tolle
There is a fine balance between honoring the past and losing yourself in it.

“Negative states of mind, such as anger, resentment, fear, envy, and jealousy, are products of the ego.”
“Everybody who is not awake spiritually is totally identified with and run by their thinking mind - the incessant voice in the head.”
“Most humans live in the mindset that this moment is only important because it's getting them to the next one.”

“Contrary to popular belief, the past was not more eventful than the present. If it seems so it is because when you look backward things that happened years apart are telescoped together, and because very few of your memories come to you genuinely virgin.”
“The scenes and events of long ago, and the persons who took part in them, wear a charming aspect to the eye of memory, which sees only the outlines and takes no note of disagreeable details. The present enjoys no such advantage, and so it always seems defective.”
“You mustn't expect me to repeat myself. My past doesn't interest me. I would rather copy others than copy myself. In that way I should at least be giving them something new. I love discovering things.”
