About this Quote

This quote by Fulton Oursler speaks with the concept that a number of us are stuck in a cycle of remorse and fear. We are continuously reflecting on our past and being sorry for decisions we have made, while also stressing over the future and what it may bring. This cycle of remorse and fear can be paralyzing, avoiding us from living in today and taking pleasure in life. It can be tough to break out of this cycle, however it is necessary to recognize that we have the power to pick how we believe and feel. We can choose to focus on the present and the positive aspects of our lives, instead of home on the past or worrying about the future. By doing this, we can release ourselves from the cycle of remorse and worry and live a more fulfilling life.
