About This Quote

When we look back with regret we tend to dwell on the negative. The pain and suffering we go through may be so intense it’s difficult to get past it. This kind of thinking can take away our joy and focus and ultimately hold us back from moving forward. Looking forward means we’re not looking back; we’re looking ahead.

It means we’re ready to move on and do what we want in life. Instead of allowing the loss to become our focus, we should look forward and focus on where we want to go next.
