I fell in love with this work the moment I saw it. I believe it was a quote about a poorly done sports game (hockey maybe?).. I don't know a lot about sports, but I do know this quote can apply to just about everything and anything.
[Sidenote, he's from Vancouver so obviously I like him even more for that].
There is no need to stress over the past, it has already happened. You can learn from it, roll with it, go with the punches - learn to punch back so you are prepared for next time, but don't stress if you lose the first fight.
Life is sort of funny sometimes, you almost never get exactly what you want, but we always have to keep trying and hoping that next time it will be better. It will be. It has to be. Without hope we all might as well be dead. That's why people find religion. Love.
These are all abstract concepts, but they are what drives our entire lives.
It was what it was, but the future will be what you make it be - what you want it to be.
You can always get what you try for - if you keep on trying. Maybe not the first time or even the thirtieth, but eventually you will get it right - you just have to keep trying. You have to.
