5 Things for 2014. #5: Decide To Move Forward

Sometimes we get stuck on events, people or situations that hold us back from moving forward.  Somehow the emotions that are attached to the event or person keep us in the moment, and we cant let got.  To get things right in 2014, make the decision to move forward. 

There is a story of a three guys traveling and they all cross this bridge to the next large city.  Each traveling and holding two sacks.  The first guy goes across and has them both in front of him. The toll person asks, “Why do you have both sacks in front of you?”  He responds, so that I remember all the good the bad things that have happened and keep them close to my heart.” He moves on. 

The second guy comes up and he has one sack in front of him, and the other behind him.  The same toll attendant asks, “Why do you have one sack in front of you and the other behind you?”  He responds, “So I can see all the good I have done before me and carry all the bad behind me.”  He moves on.

The third guy walks up and has the same set up as the previous guy, but the toll attendant noticed that on the sack behind him, he cut a small hole in the sack.  The attendant asks, “I noticed that you have a small hole in the sack behind you, why is that?”  The man said, “So l can leave behind what doesn’t matter anymore because my future is more important.”

Leave your baggage behind and look to something greater in 2014. 
It’s hard to move forward when you are always looking behind you.  Take the time to make things right within yourself and be the person you can.
