“Do not lose yourself in the past. Do not lose yourself in the future. Do not get caught in your anger, worries or fears. Come back to the present moment.”
— Thich Nhat Hanh

Simplified Meaning:
It's important not to get stuck thinking about things that happened before or stressing about what might happen later. When you focus too much on the past, you can't change it, and worrying about the future just makes you anxious. Negative emotions like anger or fear can take over if you let them. The best thing to do is to pay attention to what's happening right now. For instance, imagine you're worried about an exam next week, but instead of spending all your time worrying, you prepare for it today. Staying present helps you feel more in control and less stressed.
