looking-back

Taking time to look back, is a foundation on course to build a stable future.

Turn to your community and the great earth for sustenance and knowledge.

Looking back and wondering if it could have worked eventually hurts more than trying and failing.

The best way to look back at life fondly is to meet it - and those along your journey - warmly, kindly and mindfully

We__e so wrapped up with egotistical things, career, family, having enough money, meeting the mortgage, getting a new car, fixing the radiator when it breaks__e__e involved in trillions of little acts just to keep going. So we don__ get into the habit of standing back and looking at our lives and saying, Is this all? Is this all I want? Is something missing?

Have you ever felt you were born in the wrong decade, or came just a bit too late and missed out on all the good stuff when it was in its heyday?

When you look back at that relationship you didn't think you could live without and realize had you stayed in it, you'd be some comfortable loser, sitting on the couch with another comfortable loser, instead of being the dope motherfucker you are today.

Don't spend your life wondering "what if" and worrying over something you have no control. What's done is done. Looking backwards will cause you to miss out on new blessings ahead. Move on.

People will walk in and walk out of your life, but the one whose footstep made a long lasting impression is the one you should never allow to walk out.

When the minds of men slip from realities to fantasies without thinking of the future consequences, then we must ponder. When the hearts of men are entangled with what though might seem great but yet, specious ambitions without pondering over the resulting footprints, then we ought to take precautions. When the hands of men unwittingly and for the sake of self-gratification find the right weapons and dexterity for the wrong purpose, then massacre and cruelties leave indelible footprints of sorrow and bitterness in the hearts of men. We shall always look back to the footprints of yesterday to say had we know if we don__ take a critical look at today__ footsteps. There is always an alternative that is better than good

You can't look back. Nothing you can do to change it. Only forward.

Sometimes I really can't express how much I feel, but I can tell for a fact that some past years have been a victorious rollercoaster ride with God in it. Some days colourful, some days black and white, some days faith bigger than a mustard seed, other days I'm filled with blind doubt about what tomorrow holds. But in all of this, I'm beautifully me and constantly running the race through the father's grace

Every moment is precious, even the ones behind me that I often reflect upon with a reserved smile. However_I seldom look back, only forward in anticipation of the next greater now.

...do you ever know a moment is important as it's happening, or is it only when you look back that you can see your life is changed?

You will never see me surrender, never see me cry, but you will often see me walk away. Turn around and just leave, without looking back.

VIEW FROM A HILLI am not yet quite over it.I am lying down on top of it.Surveying behind me a wastelandOf dried-up promise.While the lights below twinkleWith dull mocking uncertainty.There isn't much left to look forward to,And the looking forward of the past has been belied.

The thing is that it could never again feel natural to talk to her

Perhaps the echoes of people we once loved still linger in the places we frequented with them and that is why we go back_ Not so much to remember them as to feel them_
