Have you ever attempted to drive forward by looking in the rearview mirror? The likely answer is, “No,” because it is an exercise in futility (in addition to being dangerous!).

Yet, so many of us invest a lot of time and energy trying to relive the circumstances of our lives by rearranging past events, in order to get the results we now desire, or to project a certain image of ourselves and our lives to others. However, and to a considerable degree, it can be a superficial exercise, as intrinsically, neither your life nor your circumstances tend to improve.

When we look back, it should be a way of understanding ourselves and our motivations for making certain choices. The objective of this introspection should be to yield greater self-awareness and confidence.

 

 

Best wishes, and have a great day!
