No Looking Back

Let's start the week off right good people by not allowing the past to be a hinderance. Who cares what happened last week, month, or year. We have been graced with another opportunity to excel. Whatever we couldn't accomplish then, we can now. Take this golden opportunity by the horns and don't look back. Of course, looking back isn't always bad. It is great to see how far we have come. Only time it is not necessary is when we look back with the wrong attitude. It goes back to forgetting things that are not worth remembering which was discussed on Friday's post. 

Some key things that can help us with this goal are:

1. Be surrounded with people who are moving forward.

2. Keep a positive attitude.

3. Thank God for your past and what's to come.

4. Handle past issues so they won't come up again.

Nothing like trying to move forward with people who are going in the opposite direction. Our progress does depend on who we hang around because habits do rub off over time whether they be good or bad. Keeping a positive attitude pleases God and we are more able to see God's purpose clearly with the right mindset rather than thinking negatively majority of the time. Thanking God for our past let's Him know that we understand it was Him Who brought us thus far. Acknowledging Him in our future shows trust, commitment, and faith. If we have those three things in God, then it will manifest in our future as well. Dealing with past hurt helps tremendously in moving forward. There are people who have been holding on to things their family did to them when they were little children. Others can't move past a bad break up. Carrying those things with us are toxic to our lives. So deal with it. If you need counseling then do that. Maybe talking to those that have wronged you will help or just pray that God heals your broken heart altogether. Actually, that's the first step and the others are great additives to think about. We can't walk, drive, eat, or work looking back. So why live life that way? Let's be committed to our future by breaking up with our past! Enjoy your week!
