| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Songs of Innocence and Experience by William Blake: Wiping all our tears away?
O no! never can it be!
Never, never can it be!
He doth give His joy to all:
He becomes an infant small,
He becomes a man of woe,
He doth feel the sorrow too.
Think not thou canst sigh a sigh,
And thy Maker is not by:
Think not thou canst weep a tear,
And thy Maker is not near.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The Emerald City of Oz by L. Frank Baum: sure Aunt Em and Uncle Henry were much astonished at the story.
"But after seeing the Cuttenclips and the Fuddles," remarked her
uncle, "we ought not to wonder at anything in this strange country."
"Seems like the only common and ordinary folks here are ourselves,"
rejoined Aunt Em, diffidently.
"Now that we're together again, and one reunited party," observed the
Shaggy Man, "what are we to do next?"
"Have some supper and a night's rest," answered the Wizard
promptly, "and then proceed upon our journey."
"Where to?" asked the Captain General.
"We haven't visited the Rigmaroles or the Flutterbudgets yet," said

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Tales of the Klondyke by Jack London: the face was presented. Not the least was that profile among her
virtues. She could not help the lines upon which she had been
builded, and they were very good; but she had long since learned
those lines, and though little they needed, was not above
advantaging them to the best of her ability. The candle began to
flicker. She could not do anything ungracefully, but that did not
prevent her improving upon nature a bit, when she reached forth
and deftly snuffed the red wick from the midst of the yellow
flame. Again she rested head on hand, this time regarding the man
thoughtfully, and any man is pleased when thus regarded by a
pretty woman.
