Attitude, The Ultimate Power: Are You Prepared For Success? (Section II - Installment #6 "The Past Is Gone"

Why read Monday Morning Power?

You will find a consistency and a focus in all of my content that can change your attitude which can fuel a positive change in your life, if you want it to. If you are happy with your attitude and your life and see no reason for changing, then you either already have a PMA (Positive Mental Attitude), or you are a victim and want to hold onto your misery. These postings will then serve to fortify the person with PMA, or, hopefully, convince the "victim" that there is a better way. This site will contain essays, poems, stories, humor and links, all with the same goal: The pursuit, capture, care and feeding of a Positive Mental Attitude. I have had readers tell me that they have spent hours on my site and feel great about themselves both during and after. I log onto my own site frequently to help fuel my attitude; I hope you will as well.

Are You Prepared For Success? (Section II - Installment #6 "The Past Is Gone" - Male and Female versions)

(If this is your first time on this site, please begin with "Are You Prepared For Success?" [Introduction])

The Past Is Gone!

"Oh, the regrets I feel for opportunities lost;

I really have wasted my time!"...

Is this how you feel? Is this how you think?

This method of thinking's a crime.

What's gone is gone, what's left is left.

These facts you cannot rearrange.

Let go of the past. Grab hold of the rest.

Now is the time for the change.

What remains is the future. What remains is now.

And it can all play out like a dream.

It can be an ocean of desires fulfilled,

Or a sea of "what might have been."

Don't beat yourself up over moments gone by.

These moments you'll never retrieve.

Look forward with hope and courage and know

It's in yourself that you have to believe.

(An original Poem by Mel Kaye)

I strongly suggest that you write down your immediate reaction, after passionately reading this poem.

List those lost opportunities in your past that you would like to let go of.

Well, my only lost opportunity was when I wanted to dance ballet but couldn't cause my bones weren't strong enough. It took me a lot of time to overcome that trauma lol...but I did.
