There is a reason your car has a BIG windshield and a small rearview mirror: You are going forward, not backward! Where you are headed is much, much more important than were you’ve been. The “Big Windshield, Small Rearview Mirror” metaphor is an excellent one to bring to mind anytime you start excessively focusing on your past. The future is the ONLY thing you can change; the future belongs to those (you?) with the courage to create it.
