Everything that happened last year stays in the past.

It's a whole new year. Last year has nothing to do with this year. I don't carry that with me.

You don't have to worry about what happened last year; you can start fresh.

This is a new year. Last year is the furthest thing from my mind right now. Right now, my (mind-set) is to go out and control the things I can control. I'm not looking for one thing to vindicate me.

What happened in the past is just that, the past. Champion or not.

That's history. I say history because it happened in the past.
