"Do not linger..."

Can we shape the future
in some way?
What is comfort compared
to happiness?
What is contentment compared
to passion?
What are we willing to give up
in order to stay put
at the same place?
Who will be thanking us in the end...?
How much happiness will we
be able to have,
if the mind lingers
on what could have been...
If we choose differently...
How much should we abandon
ouf our own consciousness
to neglect the fact we already know...?
If we do choose to stay
how much will it affect us
beyond that point?
Life IS tough...
I know, I´ve been down that road before..
Fortunately, each and every one
make their own decisions
on how to be most happy...
For me,
I know there´s an unavoidingly step....
if I stand before the dilemma...
"whether or not...."
No matter what, I choose the hardest road...
I owe it to myself to be miserable
in order to be happy...
And with that in mind,
I know I would make the right choice...
I would want to live my life at my happiest...
Not lingering
on what might have been...
In that way you fool yourself...
Because it WILL keep haunting you...................

Trust your heart...
