Deserve better Quote by José N. Harris
““The past cannot cause us any pain, it cannot stop us from doing anything we want to do or stop us from succeeding in any endeavor. The past holds zero power. It already happened. Its gone. Only your grievance about the past can hurt or stop you. But if you are willing to let go of that past, that pain, that regret- then you have "today" in front of you, all shiny and new. Still in the box. Which of the two choices works better for you today? Which will work better after 10 more years. Its a choice that no one can choose for you. Your brain. Your mind. Your choice. Don't fool yourself. You deserve better.””
