Past Influences Through Meaning
- The past doesn't directly cause our present or future; it only influences us through the meaning we assign to it.
- Holding onto past events as fixed determinants limits our ability to make free choices today.
Past as Wake, Present as Boat
- The past is like the wake behind a boat, a record of present moments flowing behind us.
- We only influence the future by decisions made in the present, not by the past itself.
Make Present Choices Freely
- Recognize that you can make choices in the present not tethered to the past.
- Use the past only as a guidepost, not a hitching post, to live differently starting now.
