Look back, don’t go back.

LOOK BACK TO MOVE FORWARD.

You will not leave a place for another if all you have or need is in that place; you will not embark on a journey if it is not for a cause that positively impacts your life or others. Every journey a man begins is always for a purpose, but sometimes, the journey does not go as smooth as expected, sometimes, moving forward on such journeys seems almost an impossibility.

You must have heard that, when you embark on a journey you shouldn't look back, but the truth is, sometimes, you have to look back to be reminded that you cannot go back; sometimes, looking back would encourage you and give you the motivation that you need to keep moving forward.

When the journey ahead becomes difficult, when it seems there is not enough strength within you to keep going, when it seems you are down and out, look back at where you left, look back at the distance you have covered, look back and see those who are expecting you to get to your destination so they could make you a reference on their journey, look back so you would see there is no reason you must turn back.

Better days are right ahead of you, and you will never see them if you turn back. You must believe that someday you will see the brightness of the sun, you will get to the place where you imagined before you left everything behind. Steve Jobs ones said, "You cannot connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever." The destination is ahead, but the dots are connecting behind; if you look back, let it be for one reason, to push and move you forward.
