DO NOT DIE LIVING IN THE PAST
Please read that again.
Again.
Maybe thrice, so it sinks in and is embedded in your mind.
Listen, readers.
You are here today to live
Feel blessed that you are alive.
Today you have the ability to make someone smile
Make a new friend
Make someone's day.
Don't waste it by wallowing
Because you are contributing to all the negativity in the world
And why be a pessimist if you can be optimistic?
Why walk past someone without a simple and friendly hello?
Why cry about what didn't work out and not focus on what could?
You see, we complain about the world we live in
But we forget we are apart of it
And that we can not only change it
But change it for the better
And make life a little happier
And the world a better place.
So forget about the past
Forget about your failures
And focus on what matters
Because all we have
Is
Now.
