Don't think of your life's story as a circle that you're standing in the middle of -- if you spend all day turning around and around so you can give equal focus to your past, present and future, you'll get awfully dizzy awfully fast! Your life is actually more like a line -- albeit a very squiggly line, full of funny doglegs and artistic little curlicues. But no matter how many times you must veer off the path, you have to keep your attention focused in a forward direction!
I think alot of us should take this quote and run with it!
