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.

Change. Do not act as if nothing happened. This is the same as staying at square one. You did something wrong and something nasty happened. Evidently, something in you needs to change. It may be a habit, your whole schedule, or your whole outlook in life. Whatever it would be, change it within you and do it fast.

It is not supposed to be unnerving to ask others to help you. They can draw attention to flaws and areas for amelioration. Facing the reality of your actions can be painful but also liberating. It will make you a stronger person. If people hate the way you chew gum loudly in movies, so be it. Change. If you smoke in people's face, so be it. Change.

Find mentors and guides through life who will help focus your thoughts and attitudes. You want strong people who have insight and wisdom. We all have possibilities among our friends and colleagues. It could be a family member, a pastor, or a priest. Use these connections to advance your life and they will help keep you on a solid track.

Pray for strength. Taking the first step forward is hard. Taking the subsequent steps is harder because you will encounter more adversities one after the other. You owe it to yourself to keep moving forward. And you can only be strong enough to do so if your strength is coming from the grace of God.
