Face Forward

I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead. Philippians 3:13

Here’s a time-management tip: Stop thinking about yesterday.

Whether your past was a smashing success or a crashing failure, its only purpose now is to teach you lessons for tomorrow.

Don’t waste time reliving or trying to repair the past. Instead, do what the president at my daughter’s university encourages students to do: Carpe Mañana—“seize tomorrow.”

Dr. Bob Brower urges incoming freshman at Point Loma Nazarene University to “do today that which will make a difference tomorrow.”

Paul says that he is looking forward to the future. He is giddy with anticipation because he has learned to forget the past and focus on what lies ahead.

Lead your organization toward the future, not the past.

God gives us a memory of the past so we can learn from it, not live in it.
