“The past has no power over the present moment.”
— Eckhart Tolle

Simplified Meaning:
Our past experiences don’t control what we feel or do right now. Imagine you're driving a car. Your rearview mirror shows you where you've been, but it doesn't steer the car. You steer by looking forward. In life, your past is like that mirror: it shows you what has happened, but it doesn't decide what you do next. So, if you had a bad day yesterday, it doesn't mean today has to be bad too. You have the choice to make this moment good, no matter what happened before. This idea encourages us to focus on now and make the best of it, without letting past troubles hold us back.
