Keeping Our Eyes on the Road

I recently heard an interview with a Premier League football manager, which serves as a great metaphor for life...

His side had just lost a match to a team of fellow Premiership strugglers, leaving them perilously close to the relegation zone with only 7 more games left in the season. Asked about his reaction to the defeat he responded,

"We have to look forward... It's not about what happened yesterday, or even what happened today... It's about what happens next."

How often in our own lives do we become paralysed by fears or regrets about what has happened to us in our past? How often do we fail to seize the opportunities that the future holds for us because our minds are trapped or limited in some way by our past experiences?

To use a motoring analogy, it's like we drive through life with our eyes firmly glued to the rear view mirror...

That we fail to take the many roads to opportunity that we pass along the way because instead of our focus being on what is in front of us, we keep it on what is already behind us.

What this particular quote reminds us of is that we don't have to be held or conditioned by the chains of our past... That we are free at any time to set off in a new direction; to seize new opportunities, and to make more of our lives in the present than we have up until this point in our past.

We are not defined by the career we have had up until this point, or the relationships we have had in the past; our health habits and our personal finances can all be changed for the better - all through a conscious decision to do so.

Every day is a chance for us to begin anew, should we choose it to be so - a blank canvass, ready for us to create the masterpiece that we wish our lives to be. As life coach and success guru Brian Tracy puts it, "It's like getting a blank cheque on the future..."
