"We cannot tear out a single page of our life, but we can throw the whole book in the fire"

This quote by George Sand speaks to the concept that we can not alter the past, but we can pick how we react to it. We can not return and eliminate a single page of our life, but we can select to progress and not be defined by our past. We can choose to take control of our future and not be held back by our errors. We can select to toss the whole book of our life in the fire and start anew. This quote motivates us to take ownership of our lives and to not be held back by our past. We can select to take control of our future and produce a brand-new story for ourselves. We can pick to be the authors of our own lives and produce a new story for ourselves.
