I think this a great quote that talks about keeping our eye
on the journey ahead and not weighing ourselves down with the potholes we have
already crossed.
I use the analogy many times about being in a car (yes, you
are rolling your eyes now…). There is a windshield and a rearview mirror
in front of you when you are driving. Both serve a purpose…that rearview
mirror lets us see what is behind us, what might be coming, and where we have
been.
But it is a small part of what we need to drive….the bigger
piece is the windshield….it is probably 50 times bigger than the rearview mirror….it
is MUCH MORE important. It shows us the road ahead, we can see obstacles
to avoid, and we see potential.
Even if our past was great and the road behind us has been
amazing….we can’t see what is coming if we only drive in the rearview.
Great things that happen in life are great when we are in the moment....but
great things dull as we view them in the rear view…. We want to
experience the full GREATNESS of the “next chapter.”
I hope this weekend you can reflect some, but I hope you
spend more time thinking of the road that is laid out in front of you.
The cool thing about writing a new chapter is that right now it is blank and
has unlimited potential. It could be anything…
I hope everyone has a great weekend…
Happy Friday!
