Dwell not in the past
But look forward to a bright future
Dwell not in your mistakes
For they are the ones that shape your future
Dwell not on ‘what ifs’
Just do what you can now
Dwell not on ‘I should have’
Bet you would have done worse if not for that
Dwell not on your first love
But to the one in front of you
Dwell not on ‘I should have’
You can still do now
Dwell not on how to be ‘the girl’
But on your studies
Dwell not on that deal you walked away from
But on better deals to come
Dwell not on the death of a loved one
But in the presence
Dwell not on your impatience
You were not so get over it
Dwell not on the person you drove away
You could be nicer to people now
Dwell not on your lack of persistent
Dwell on the need
Dwell not on mistakes of the past
But on correct choices of the future
Dwell not on sins of the past
The road to self-destruction begins with self-condemnation
