Summary

This quote emphasizes the transient nature of life and advises against dwelling excessively on past events or rehashing grievances. It suggests that wasting time and energy on things that have already happened is futile and detracts from the limited time we have to make the most of our lives. Instead, it encourages us to focus on moving forward, seeking new experiences, and making the most of the present rather than getting caught up in the past.

When I look back over my life it's almost as if there was a plan laid out for me - from the little girl who was so passionate about animals who longed to go to Africa and whose family couldn't afford to put her through college.
