Going Backwards

When you hear the words “going backward” there is the sinking feeling that you’ll never reach the destination you were heading towards.   The road has come to an abrupt halt and you have to turn around.  Your stomach churns, skin gets clammy, mouth dry.  The thought of “going backward” – NOoooooooo

Not sure about any of you but for a long time I thought “going backward” meant something bad, that I had possibly done something wrong or omg even failed.

Wrong, wrong, so wrong.  Like the cute little sign implies it’s just a step in the Cha-Cha.

When you go backward you get a different view of the journey and the path you are on.  Viewing your past, or examining and understanding it, can give you inspiration and drive to move in an ever better, more successful direction.

Don’t live in the past – love it, learn from it, be in the present so you can then go on to create the most amazing future you could ever dream of.   And when your future self-takes a moment to look “backward”  it won’t be so scary.

Anyone ready to CHA-CHA?
