You have but one life,
Do not let it be torn by the harsh remembrance of your past,
But let those memories lead you along life's path.
To live in the past is barren.
To live in the future is to dismiss all you've got.
To live in the moment, is just to recreate what you forgot.
We can start a flame.
We can play with fire.
We can blow it out--our inner desires.
But if you let the embers glow, and die as they do, you'll find no fire, as bright as you.
So don't live in the past.
Don't live in the moment.
Don't live in the future.
But stay conscious, and let what comes, come.
Don't just give life all you've got.
Let life put you in the toughest spots.
