Look Forward 

I find it interesting sometimes to look at how our body design works. Did you ever notice that we are built with Eyes in the front of our head looking forward? We don’t have them on the sides like horses. We have no physical way we can look behind ourselves. I think we were built this way for a specific purpose. We need to look forward. We must keep an eye on where we’re going, not where we have been. 

The best things in life are out in front of us. We should be looking forward and aiming at the good things in life. If we cannot change the past (and we can’t), why keep dredging it up? Our history is often cluttered with various pains. If we could go back and change the past to make it better. It might be worth looking behind us. Unfortunately, the past is gone. And whatever we do today, we cannot change what happened. 

Although tomorrow itself is out of our reach, if we keep our eye on the future and plan, we can see the possibilities of great things. And actually, work to bring them to fruition. If we’re always looking at the past, we will miss the good things that happen now and in the future. 

I highly recommend eyes forward. It is the best way to see what you desire from life, are willing to work for and make it within your ability to obtain. Never sell yourself short. I believe in people and that they can do whatever they truly put their mind to and are willing to do the work to accomplish.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future. Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force.
