Living Forward Quotes

It is beneficial to look backward. Because the passage of time can give better perspective to a past occurrence.

Look backward, not to reminisce, to retrospect.

With reminiscence you only recollect the past. Retrospection helps you review things that have happened.

In retrospect, you can glean information to forge ahead.

I couldn’t agree more with Jim Denison, for a path forward, look backward.

To make the most of your day, make introspection a habit.

In the process of writing my last two posts, Understanding Life Backward and Living Life Forward, I came across many quotes that inspire letting the past go, to live life forward.

I figured I should compile into a post the ones I found most insightful.

Here goes:

My intention is that the insights contained in these quotes will spur you to get unstuck from, let go of, and move past any, disappointment, failure betrayal and hurt from your past.

To live a life free of the clutter of regret and loss.

I hope I succeeded.
