Looking Behind to Move Forward

We all experience difficulties in life. Some of them we really don't want to remember. And many things we shouldn't. But one thing I have learned is that I sometimes need to look behind me in order to move forward.

What I mean is, our difficulties create teachable moments where we have the opportunity to grow so we don't repeat our mistakes. If we look behind to grab that lesson, then we can move forward in our maturity and development. We don't want the past to drag us down. But we can use the past to change us for the better.

How about you? Have you taken the time to look behind you so you can move forward? Why don't you give it a try and see just how much you grow.
