Learning To Take The Forward Look In Spite Of Difficulties

By Francis Riggs


There are two absolute truths in life, they say: death and taxes. There are also a million other challenges and problems along the way that prevent the forward look. It is inevitable that you will experience adversity at times and you will do so repetitively through life. Looking back to evaluate what went wrong is second nature, but it should not destroy a positive anticipation of a better future to come.

To succeed, a person must look and move forward. Yes it is easy to say yet very difficult to do on your own. Even if you know you are far from okay, no one will take that step forward for you. Here is an article how to force your way up and keep moving out of your misery.

The first rule of the road is to avoid bad people and situations. If you can't, assess why and move on. There is a root to every problem, and we learn from our previous mistakes. We might think that acceptance is enough, but it is not. You need to change patterns of behavior. You need to know how to progress and not stagnate. You need to look ahead and not back forever.

We all evolve and change, and so we must embrace this fact. You are not always starting over again from square one, but are moving forward with a new outlook. That is the definition of optimism and the root of happiness. Okay, you had some bad times; but there are good ones ahead. Learn to accept change as the origin of progress. Learn to become a new person every day.

People are victims of their memories and they may not forgive you right away. You can't act as if nothing has happened, in effect, going back to square one. It will color the future of your relationships; hence the need to avoid negative behavior in the long run. Change is the watchword of personal success. Make it a reality and apply it as needed.

Ask help. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness. It means you are strong enough to move on and be a better person. If you want to quit smoking for example, and you have accepted it and want to change, you cannot do it if your smoking buddy continues to ask you to go out for a puff.

If you want to move on from a bad relationship, it will be hard to do if you keep seeing the person who hurt you. Look for a person with a stronger will power than yours. He can be a friend, a parent, a pastor or a person you simply look up to. He will lift you up and push you forward faster.

Prayer is last but not least in our list of suggestions. It can take a big load off your mind. It will give you strength and endurance as you move forward through life. Make it a good habit and a regular concern. There you go for the grace of God.
