The process of facing and selecting our possessions can be quite painful. It forces us to confront our imperfections and inadequacies and the foolish choices we made in the past.

I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future.

Remembering something from the past? you are creating it right now as evidence for who you are now.

Attachment to the past and fears concerning the future not only govern the way you select the things you own but also represent the criteria by which you make choices in every aspect of your life, including your relationships with people and your job.

All the things that are in the past are in the past.

There's no sustenance in the past.
