Oh! My beloved! fill the cup, that clears to-day of past regrets and future fears.
The only thing we can control is what we do in the present. The more we replay yesterday, the further we get from today's opportunities. And the further away we move from opportunities, the tougher the road is to get back. Opportunities never look as good coming as they do going, and they wait for no one. We need to be highly attentive to spot them. And we must be focused on our present capabilities, not past regrets.
Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.
Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.
A great source of calamity lies in regret and anticipation; therefore a person is wise who thinks of the present alone, regardless of the past or future.
