looking back

We’re moving forward. Ahead is the only direction left. Up is next.

We can never go back in time, redo or undo, or reverse the trajectory of our growth and seasons.

We are where we are. We get to choose where we go next, but wherever it may be, it can only be forward, launching from here. One step at a time.

So keep looking up. Watch the path ahead. Pay attention to what’s all around you, and to your feet below you.

Look back occasionally to learn. Enjoy and utilize the catalogues of your life, your work, your memories and lessons… Glean whatever you can from them.

But then stay present. Keep moving forward. Keep creating. Keep going.
