It is inevitable that we sometimes stop to think back on someone or something that has shaped our lives. Could be positive, could be negative or just so impactful that you will never forget who they are or what happened in that moment. Our lives after all are a road of those people and moments that shape our experiences and views of the world.
Sometimes it is key to look back to move forward. What? Yes, I know people will tell you the past is in the past so don’t worry about it and move forward. True but I think it is more than that. I think occasionally, you do need to look back so that you can move forward.
In this world of everything right now, be productive, be successful or nothing else, it’s stressful! The world is so in an instant, that I think we forget to look back to see how very far we’ve come. We don’t give ourselves credit for our path so far, the decisions and chances we have taken to get to where we are at this very time and place.
Doing that, seeing how far we’ve come can sometimes be the fuel we need to keep going, to move forward. Looking back and giving yourself that credit can be the extra nudge you need to think, “hey if I did that then this next challenge is nothing.”
You are right, you got this! So, take a moment reflect on all the things and people that have helped you. Reflect on the decisions you have made and the work you have put in to get to where you are. Give yourself the credit you deserve and move forward with the energy and drive that make you who you are. Shine Bright and Much Love!
