In this episode, I explore the transformative power of the quote "Nothing we can do can change the past. Everything we do changes the future." by Ashleigh Briiliant.
I discuss how we must take responsibility for our lives regardless of our past circumstances, sharing inspiring examples like Sean Stevenson, who taught clients accountability through an unconventional yard cleanup exercise, and former inmates like Danny Trejo and Ali Saddiq, who rebuilt their lives after prison.
The episode emphasizes practical approaches to changing your future, including therapy, support groups, and finding meaning in past hardships—illustrated through stories of a school counselor who protects children because no one protected her and Kate Atwood, who founded a grief support nonprofit after losing her mother.
This quote is also discuss in relation to global issues, suggesting that while we can't change historical problems like tuberculosis or environmental damage, our collective actions can create meaningful change for the future.
