It’s what you do in the present that will redeem the past and thereby change the future.

It’s what you do in the present that will redeem the past and thereby change the future.

Past

Paulo Coelho (2011). “Aleph”, p.9, HarperCollins UK

We human beings have enormous difficulty in focusing on the present; we always thinking about what we did, about how we could have done it better.... or else we think about the future, about what we're going to do.... But at this precise moment, you also realize that you can change your future by bringing the past into the present. Past and future only exist in our mind. The present moment, though, is outside of time, it's Eternity.... It isn't what you did in the past the will affect the present. It's what you do in the present that will redeem the past and thereby change the future.

Past, Thinking, Mind

Everything which is done in the present, affects the future by consequence, and the past by redemption.

Life, Inspiration, Past

Paulo Coelho (2015). “Warrior of the Light -”, Booklassic

We learn in the past, but we are not the result of that. We suffered in the past, loved in the past, cried and laughed in the past, but that's of no use to the present. The present has its challenges, its good and bad side. We can neither blame nor be grateful to the past for what is happening now. Each new experience of love has nothing whatsoever to do with past experiences. It's always new.

Grateful, Past, New Experiences

"Aleph". Book by Paulo Coelho, 2011.

It takes a huge effort to free yourself from memory, but when you succeed, you start to realize that you’re capable of far more than you imagined. You live in this vast body called the Universe, which contains all the solutions and all the problems. Visit your soul; don’t visit your past. The Universe goes through many mutations and carries the past with it. We call each of those mutations a ‘life,’ but just as the cells in your body change and yet you remain the same, so time does not pass, it merely changes.

Memories, Past, Cells

"Aleph". Book by Paulo Coelho, 2011.

Lose what? A man only has a soul to be won or lost; apart from his life, he has nothing. Past or future lives do not matter - at the moment you are living this one, and you should do so with silent comprehension, joy and enthusiasm. What you must not lose is your enthusiasm.

Past, Men, Joy

Paulo Coelho (2015). “Warrior of the Light -”, p.3, Booklassic

Past and future exist only in our memory. The present moment, though, is outside of time, it's Eternity.

Memories, Past, Moments

"Aleph". Book by Paulo Coelho, 2010.

Feelings should always be allowed to be free. You should not judge a future love by past suffering.

Life, Inspiration, Past

One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through. Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters – whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave in the past the moments of life that have finished.

Past, What Matters, Doors

The present moment, though, is outside of time, it’s Eternity. In India they use the word “karma” for lack of any better term. But it’s a concept that’s rarely given a proper explanation. It isn’t what you did in the past that will affect the present. It’s what you do in the present that will redeem the past and thereby change the future.

Karma, Past, India

"Aleph". Book by Paulo Coelho, 2011.

But don’t forget that memory is like salt: the right amount brings out the flavour in food, too much ruins it. If you live in the past all the time, you’ll find yourself with no present to remember.

Memories, Past, Finding Yourself

The past and the future become unimportant. There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only. It is the hand that evokes love, and creates a twin soul for every person in the world. Without such love, one’s dreams would have no meaning.

Dream, Past, Hands

Paulo Coelho (1998). “The Alchemist - 10th Anniversary Edition”, HarperSanFrancisco

Visit your soul; don't visit your past.

Past, Soul, Your Past

"Aleph". Book by Paulo Coelho, 2011.

When two people fall in love, past and future disappear.

Falling In Love, Positive Thinking, Past

Many people don't allow themselves to love...because there are a lot of things at risk a lot of future and a lot of past.

Past, People, Risk

People never leave, we are always here in our past and future lives.

Past, People, Our Past

If you have a past with which you feel dissatisfied, then forget it. Now.

Past, Forget, Feels

If you have a past with which you feel dissatisfied, then forget it, now. Imagine a new story for your life and believe in it. Focus only on the moments when you achieved what you desired, and that strength will help you to get what you want.

Believe, Past, Focus

Everyone knows how to love,because we are all born with that gift.Some people have a natural talent for it but the majority of us have to re-learn,to remember how to love,and everyone,without exception,needs o burn on the bonfire of past emotions,to relieve certain joys and griefs,certain ups and downs,until they can see the connecting thread that exists behind each new encounter;because there is a connecting thread.

Grief, Past, Natural Talent

But time, as well as healing all wounds, taught me something strange too: that it's possible to love more than one person in a lifetime. I remarried. I'm very happy with my new wife, and I can't imagine living without her. This, however, doesn't mean that I have to renounce all my past experiences, as long as I'm careful not to compare my two lives. You can't measure love the way you can the length of a road or the height of a building.

Mean, Healing, Past

Travelling to past lives is like making a hole in the floor and letting the flames of the fire in the apartment below scorch and burn the present

Past, Flames, Fire

Paulo Coelho (2011). “Aleph”, p.7, HarperCollins UK

Because I don't live in either my past or my future.I'm interested only in the present".

Powerful, Past, Alchemist

Paulo Coelho (1998). “The Alchemist - 10th Anniversary Edition”, HarperSanFrancisco

The future would end up finding out the truth about the past.

Past, Ends, Finding Out The Truth

She looked at her own past, and, for the first time, she forgave herself: it hadn't been her fault, but the fault of that insecure little boy, who had given up after the first attempt.

Insecure, Boys, Past
