They say leave the past in the past.

I agree to an extent.

My reason behind that is that yesterday helped form my today.

Without my past I wouldn’t have my present.

The thing is I don’t dwell on past mistakes.

I learn from them and then I move forward.

That’s where the statement no regrets should come from.

That’s what it should truly mean…

Because how can we build today without the growing pains of yesterday?

Today is a new day though.

I like that statement.

We start fresh today.

No matter what today is for you look at it with new eyes.

Look at it as a new beginning…

Today I choose to smile.

Today I choose to take a new path.

Today I choose to live.

The reason why I emphasize my choices today is because of tomorrow.

Tomorrow isn’t promised.

So why wait if we don’t know if we’ll see it?

Why not make the decision now to live in peace.

Remove the stress and worries of tomorrow.

Be true to you today…

Tomorrow will come if it chooses.

But today…

Today choose to be present.

Choose to be here.

Choose to be loved.

Choose to live….

Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow.
