There is a reason the windshield is much larger than the rearview mirror
Looking at what is behind us may help us to know how we have arrived where we are. It can give us insight to how we got here and possibly a sense of where we are going. It may even show us if there is something that we thought was behind us, but is now catching up.

It may be important to look back once in a while, but it is more important to focus on the present. Too much looking back or looking too far ahead and we may miss what is in front of us. In the past we made decisions based on what we understood and thought was best at the time. Just because we have grown and have a better understanding now does not mean that we were wrong for the decisions of the past. We may never have gained the insight that we have now, had it not been for the decisions that we made previously. So glance back once in a while. Allow it to give you understanding and perspective. Do not look back with regret, but with gratitude for getting you where you are today.
May you see the brighter days ahead of you.
