When you are in the car driving, your eyes look in the direction you want to go.
You don’t drive forward while looking behind you.
Doing that won’t get you very far and you will either stay where you are or drive into trouble.
This same scenario applies to you going after the goals and dreams on your heart.
If you stay focused on past mistakes and past failures, you will not get very far.
Keeping your eyes focused on what is behind you will never propel you forward to where you need to go.
You have to turn your eyes forward to where you want to go and keep your focus there.
Those past mistakes and failures happened and continuing to focus on them won’t change that.
It took me awhile to realize that continuing to beat myself up for things in the past never allowed me to leave them in the past.
It made them present failures and mistakes.
Realizing that I was already forgiven by Him allowed me to move forward and forgive myself.
I learned from those things but I no longer focus on those things.
My eyes are looking ahead, focused in the direction I want my life to go.
That one change has allowed me to move further down the path than I thought I could.
Where are your eyes looking today?
If you are still focused on the past, I want you to try looking forward.
I know it may be hard but the struggle is worth it.
Today start looking forward, forgiving yourself for the past mistakes and focused on where you want your life to go!
