“What’s done is done. What’s gone is gone. One of life’s lessons is always moving on. It’s okay to look back to see how far you’ve come but keep moving forward.”
~ Roy T. Bennett
“Sometimes, you have to look back in order to understand the things that lie ahead.”
~ Yvonne Woon
“The way we experience the world around us is a direct reflection of the world within us.”
~ Gabrielle Bernstein
A new year! These early moments give us a chance to reflect on the year that was and the year yet to be. Self-reflection will afford us emotional and social intelligence. It is critical to know your own values, strengths, weaknesses and the way we influence others around us.
It is time, for all of us, to enter a new year with hope and confidence. Hope that things will be different. I believe that hope enables us to be open and graceful in the face of uncertainty and change. And I believe change begins in our ability to leave the past behind and think forward to a changing future.
I encourage all of us to take these early moments, as a gift of a new start, to reflect and find new light to illuminate the path ahead.
“Light tomorrow with today.”
~ Elizabeth Barrett Browning
