Choose to look ahead. Think about it. If we chose to navigate our cars and drive forward, while focusing intently on the rearview mirror, chances are we are in for a big accident and a big amount of destruction. This is a great analogy for how we should live our lives as well. If we choose to live our lives in the hopes of moving forward, but with our hearts focused on the past, sooner than later we will wreck our lives.

The past is the past for a reason, and that reason was to help make you who are now, and to help give you the drive to become the person you ultimately want to become. Remember that there are always far better things ahead of us in our lives than there are that we were forced to leave behind us. Move on from what was, so that you can better focus on what is, and what will be.
