Here’s To The Future, ’Cause I’m Done With The Past!

Ten seconds left.

It’s time to put everything behind you.

The good and the bad,

just store it away,

in the

darkest,

farthest

corner of your mind.

Nine seconds left.

Why is there the need

to look back at the

past,

when a bright, new

future

awaits?

Eight seconds left.

Why sigh over all the

time you had wasted

when you can

make up for it now?

Seven seconds left.

Why must you contemplate

previous

choices

when you

can’t

change history?

Six seconds left.

Why do you hold on to

the regret,

the grudges,

the anguish of grief,

when you can just

forgive

and

forget?

Five seconds left.

Why frown at all the

mistakes

of yesterday,

when you can smile at the

accomplishments

of tomorrow?

Four seconds left.

Why wish that you

had this or that

at this place and that time

when you could be

content

with what you had?

Three seconds left.

Why think of all the things you

can’t undo,

when a door of

opportunity

and

possibility

stands closed

in front of you?   

Two seconds left.

Why?

One second left.

Why aren’t you celebrating this

Happy

New

Year?
