So I read a cool article today about Jack Kerouac that included a poem, the essential part of which is below:
The world you see is just a movie in your mind.
Rocks don't see it.
Bless and sit down.
Forgive and forget.
Practice kindness all day to everybody
and you will realize you’re already
in heaven now.
Calming, eh?

To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life is but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing.
Cut. Paste. Yay!
My sister-in-law said at my mother's memorial, "Don't look back, just look forward". It's hard because I've made a habit of dwelling on the past, so I have to work at retraining my mind.
