A Quote by Harvey Mackay

Your past is not your potential. — © Harvey Mackay
Your past is not your potential.
At times it may seem as though you and your past are one. Sometimes we fail to differentiate between what has happened to us and who we are today. If you have a hard time getting beyond that damaging mind-set let me encourage you right now. You are not your past Although you are changed and shaped by past experiences who you were yesterday does not control the person you have the potential to become tomorrow.
Your past is not your potential. In any hour you can choose to liberate the future.
The way you remember the past depends upon your hope for the future. And if what you see in your future has no hope, it has no potential, then you view the past that brought you to here as not very good.
Nothing in your past is in your present making you do anything you don't choose to do. You are not your past history! You are not your past failures! You are not how others have at one time treated you! You are only who you are and what you do now in this moment.
The only way you'll have a pen of potential Romeos from your past to choose from is to actually have a past.
Link yourself to your potential, not to your past.
To uncover your true potential you must first find your own limits and then you have to have the courage to blow past them.
Believe in your potential, not your past.
Realize your own potential and try to live out your expectations of your potential.
Are you living up to your potential? God made you with potential - potential for greatness! If you do what you can do, and trust Him to do what you can't, you will grow into the person He gave you the potential to be!
Your past is always useful to you: If you are happy with your past, you get power from it; if you are unhappy with your past, you take lesson from it!
Your religions are boring you, your philosophies are boring you, your scriptures are boring you. Thousands of years of the past are the cause of your boredom. You cannot dance - you are chained to the past, you are imprisoned in the past.
Your past determines your future unless you’re clearly moving past your self and responding to what you know in your heart.
You have to make the decision to let go of the past if you want to move forward. Reliving your painful past will poison your heart and your tomorrow. If you look at today through the eyes of the past, you can never see what the present moment has to offer.
You cannot afford to live in potential for the rest of your life; at some point, you have to unleash the potential and make your move(ment).
Resentment always hurts you more than it does the person you resent. While your offender has probably forgotten the offense and gone on with life, you continue to stew in your pain, perpetuating the past. Listen: those who hurt you in the past cannot continue to hurt you now unless you hold on to the pain through resentment. Your past is past! Nothing will change it. You are only hurting yourself with your bitterness. For your own sake, learn from it, and then let it go.
