Rip off the rear-view mirror!
When negative things happen, whether in our businesses or in our personal lives, we are presented with a great opportunity to reflect, learn and grow. Everything that happens – yes, everything – the good and the bad, holds a great opportunity to stop, take a breath and adjust our sails to let the wind propel us forward.
There is so much opportunity out there waiting for us to find it. The problem is, if we are focused on what sits in our rearview mirrors, we cannot possibly focus on the new direction that will lead to our success. People do not have the power to hold us back. We do that all by ourselves. It’s a conscious decision to learn the lesson, let go of the pain attached to the previous situation and allow the forward momentum to take hold.
Rip off the rearview mirror. If we’re truly focused on moving forward – closer to our success, we cannot be distracted with what lies in our wake. Only with what lies on the path ahead.

Just like the butterfly that cannot be helped from the cocoon or it dies. The struggles we go through make us what we are today. Thanks for the uplifting blog post.
