2. LOOKING FORWARD
LOOKING FORWARD, NEVER BACK
To often in life we look back rather than forward.
We tend to look at what has happened and dwell on it rather than looking to the future and
learning from the past. One analogy I like is the fact that when driving a car we would never dream
of not looking forward but rather driving and looking in the rear view mirror. It would not make
sense, yet so many people do this in their life.
Why do we do this?
It would seem that as human most of us are hard wired to dwell on past events. From an early age
we are told to "think about what you have done", I know I was told to do this when I was given out
to. We are instructing people to dwell on the past on what we did wrong. Now I am not saying
that this is a bad thing, just we should not dwell on bad things. Yes we must learn from what has
gone on in our past, but in my opinion never dwell on the negative.
Looking Forward
Think about those words. Looking forward, we always like to have something to look forward to.
We never say I am so looking back to this event. Yup makes no sense. We look forward. So do this
in life. Let me tell you an example of this. I am currently learning to swim, and when i am paddling
down the pool on my floats, I look forward, not back to where i was, or down I look forward. I keep
my eyes focused on the goal that is the end of the pool. When I take my eyes of the goal I get
nervous.
Top Tips for Moving Forward
1) Make out a goal - a goal will keep you focused, it gives you something to aim for, something to
reach, something to look forward to
2) Admit that you've made mistakes - admit that you have made mistakes and don't dwell on
them. Learn from the mistake and move on

3. LOOKING FORWARD
3) Life happens - realise that life happens and sometimes you face roadblocks, again don't dwell on
it, be ready for these roadblocks and learn to deal with them
4) Others won't agree with you - sometimes you have a great idea and others will knock it. This
does not mean it's a good idea, just that people will always be negative.
5) Find like minded people - start moving in more positive cirlces, join a mailing list, a forum, mix
with positve people to help you be more positive
6) Cut out negativity - cut out sources of negative information, including, TV, newspapers and
even negative people!
Finally
Realise that anything and everything is possible with the right attitude. Focus on what you want
and make it your business to get it. Don't take no for an answer!
