Past, Present, and Future

I pity my past, for with every passing day i leave it behind. i envy my future because its always one step ahead of me and i embrace my present because its my defining moment, my chance to affect the days to come. all i can do is hope my present moments affect my future in a positive way and send me on the correct path. That way when i look at my past i can say i lived, i lived with honor, with sincerity, and with love, if only to reserve a spot in hearts and minds of the great mentors that i have learned from. Or to ensure that I have left footprints on the mountains i have climbed and the valleys i have wandered in.
