Running While Looking Back
What Direction Are You Running?
Where are you going?
Are you going forward? Or are you going backward?
What Direction Are You Looking?
Are you looking at what you need to do next? Or are you reviewing what you just did?
Are you examining the horizon for opportunities? Or are you congratulating what you just did?
Are you looking for pitfalls in front of you? Or are you looking back at the ones you hit or maybe missed?
Are you looking at where you are going? Or where you have been?
What Are You Looking At?
When you drive a car, you look where you are going.
When you walk down the street, you look where you are going.
When you ride a bicycle, you look where you are going.
Why? Because you want to see your destination and you don't want to lose your way or run into something and have an accident.
Leaders Look Forward
So if you are working on a project, running a business, fostering a relationship or anything else, why are you yourself looking back at what you did in the past? That's done. That's in the past. The future is ahead of you.
Concentrate on what is in FRONT of you and how you can optimize the future.
Don't look back at what has already happened, which you can't change. Looking back will take your attention off of what is in front of you...and perhaps cause a future catastrophic accident.
Which way do you find yourself looking? Forward? Or in the past?
