There is nothing to be gained by constantly looking back over our shoulders. The quote from Omar Khayyam reminds us, “The moving finger writes, and having written moves on.”

Life requires that we learn from our experiences each day and carry that knowledge with us as we move forward. We cannot go back and neither is there a chance to have a ‘do over’. Moreover, if we choose to stand still, life will move on without us, which inherently means that we will be going backwards or regressing.

Having said this, and as much as our journey through life is an individual one, burdens can be shared with others, thus lightening our load, and resources can be pooled to propel all of us further than we could have achieved alone.

There is thus value in greater collaboration to strengthen our efforts: for we know that unity is strength.

 

Throughout the day, we invite you to revisit this quote. Below are a few questions you may wish to ask yourself, and those who journal may find them especially useful:

• In 2023, in what ways do I want to move forward?
• What are the top three goals I would like to achieve in 2023?

 

 

Best wishes and have a great day!!
