“The past has no power to stop you from being present now. Only your grievance about the past can do that.”
— Eckhart Tolle

Simplified Meaning:
Your past experiences don't have the ability to prevent you from living your life right now. It's only when you keep feeling angry or upset about what happened before that it affects your present life. Imagine having a bad day at work because a colleague was rude to you. If you carry that anger home and keep thinking about it, you can't enjoy your evening even though the workday is over. On the other hand, if you let go of that anger, you can still have a good time with your friends or family. So, by choosing to move on from past upsets and not letting them control you, you can be happier and more focused on the present moment.
