Forward Living

Our eyes are placed in front because it is more important to look ahead than to look back.  Unknown

What would happen if you drove a car forward but kept your eyes glued to the rear view mirror?  All you would see is what is behind you and you would miss what is in front of you...and you'd crash and burn.  Being focused on the past keeps us bound to hurts, bad behaviors, toxic relationships, negative perspectives, etc.  And being focused on the past means we are hurting our present and our future.  We wound people in our present day life, we create new hurts, new addictions, new toxic relationships, etc.  No good comes from living life constantly looking behind.  It slows us down, it distorts reality, it paints a bleak picture of our potential.  Choose today to get your eyes back up front, looking forward, living up to your true potential. Choose today to get your eyes forward again so your heart can be forward again.  Choose today to move forward and be free from wounds and hurts of the past so you can be healthy in your relationships and interactions with others.  Choose today to be present and future focused, let the past stay where it belongs.  Choose real life today.

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
