Words & Motivation: Leave the past in the past

Finish yesterday, and be done with it.
You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can.

Today is a new day.

Begin it well, and serenely, and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

This day is all that is good and fair. It is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on yesterdays.

- Adapted from Ralph Waldo Emerson
