KEEP MOVING FORWARD

If you are a good driver, you must keep your focus on the traffic that’s in front of you. A good driver will also check the rear view mirror and the side mirrors frequently to see what’s going on in those areas. A good driver will take a quick look to the side when changing lanes to ensure that no car is in the blind spot that a side mirror won’t pick up. All of these checks are critically important for good drivers, yet the most important thing to do is to keep your eyes on what is in front of you. Keeping your eyes on what’s in front of you is vital to your personal and professional success. We should all learn from our past experiences, including the mistakes we made. But it does you no good to dwell on what you feel you didn’t do well. It doesn’t help you today to kick yourself for a bad decision you made last week, last month, or last year. It is especially harmful to continue to stay depressed over a bad choice or a foolish action you made years ago. Yes, there are plenty of people that do that. I strongly advise you to focus on what you want and what you need to do to achieve it. Don’t ignore mistakes, learn from them and move on. Don’t put yourself down, pull yourself up. Above all else, keep your mind on what you can control. Put your efforts into what you can do. It’s okay to have some low points and bad days, but you don’t want to stay in those states. Move on and move forward.
