We thrive when we are pulled by the future, not pushed by the past.

About This Quote

When you find yourself doing something that feels forced or doesn’t feel right, ask yourself if you are being pushed by the past or pulled by the future. Pushing means to force, whereas pulling means to draw. If you are trying to force an outcome, then it will never work out for you. Instead, you need to pull yourself into action and let yourself be pulled by the future. This is the only way that things will become possible for you to achieve what you want.
