The hubby and I saw “The Butler” this weekend – a fantastic movie with many remarkable performances. Seeing all of major historical events we’ve lived through was kind of awe-inspiring. It got me thinking about George Santayana’s quote,
Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it.
It’s good to sometimes reflect on past experiences and the lessons learned from them. The important next step, however, is to move on from the past, using those lessons to help shape the future.
We are products of our past, but we don’t have to be prisoners of it. –Rick Warren
Study the past if you would define the future. -Confucius
Learn from the past, set vivid, detailed goals for the future, and live in the only moment of time over which you have any control: now. -Denis Waitley
Life is divided into three terms – that which was, which is, and which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present, to live better in the future. –William Wordsworth
Hope your today is wonderful!
Tuesday Tidbits are weekly messages I send to my leadership team. They are generally short & sweet, often focused on leadership or teamwork, always positive and, hopefully, motivational. I hope you also find some meaning in them.
