Forgiveness Is A Scalpel That

Live In The Present. The Past Is Gone; The Future Is Unknown -- But The Present Is Real, And Your Opportunities Are Now. You Must See These Opportunities; They Must Be Real For You. The Catch Is That They Can't Seem Real If Your Mind Is Buried In Past Failures, If You Keep Reliving Old Mistakes, Old Guilts, Old Tragedies. Fight Your Way Above The Many Inevitable Traumatizations Of Your Ego, Escape Damnation By The Past, And Look To The Opportunities Of The Present. I Don't Mean Some Vague Moment In The Present -- Next Week Or Next Month, Perhaps. I Mean Today, This Minute.

A Healthy Strong Ego, With Plenty Of Self-esteem, Does Not Feel Itself Threatened By Every Innocent Remark.

Admit Your Mistakes But Don't Cry Over Them. Correct Them And Go Forward.

You Can Do Only One Thing At A Time. I Simply Tackle One Problem And Concentrate All Efforts On What I Am Doing At The Moment.

Functionally, A Man Is Somewhat Like A Bicycle. A Bicycle Maintains Its Poise And Equilibrium Only So Long As It's Moving Forward Towards Something.
