#048 Looking Back
Feb 12, 2018
You can’t look in two directions at one time and expect to move very far in either. We’ve all been stuck at one time or another – trying to move forward but anchored by our past. Taking a bit of time to go back and process that which is keeping you there will be of benefit to you in the long run – face them full on, process them and then move forward.
I was reminded of a quote from the Bible – Philippians 3 starting at verse 12 is all about pressing on toward your goal. We never think about the wonderful business tips there are in the Bible.
Philippians 3:13 – forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead.
My life has been like this, when I was focused on that which was behind – I not only did it wholeheartedly, but I certainly did not move forward – I became mired in the past. It was only when I made a conscious decision to focus my energy, my thinking and my talent on that which was ahead of me that I made any real headway.
The message is clear – that which we focus upon becomes bigger – so focus on where you wish to go – forward or backward, the choice is yours.
