If you were walking from New York City to Los Angeles, would you walk forwards or backwards? Walking forwards, it’s already a challenging journey requiring time, energy, and focus. Walking backwards, you’d likely trip before covering much distance.

Yet, many of us spend our lives looking backward, dwelling on past mistakes, or anxiously anticipating the future. It’s like trying to navigate a long journey while looking over your shoulder. My time driving a tractor-trailer taught me that while it’s important to know how to back up, life’s more enjoyable moving forward.

One of our members, Glen Guadalupe, was so amazed by our current offer that he nearly bought it again, even though he’s already a member. This story illustrates how easily we can focus on what’s behind us, but it also shows the excitement of what’s possible when we focus on the present.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur looking to start fresh or build on past successes, today is your opportunity. Dwelling on the past or worrying too much about the future can prevent us from taking action now. Whether you’re starting a business, learning new skills, or just trying to improve your life, the key is to focus on what you can do today.

Our lives are made up of moments, and each one offers the chance to change direction. The decisions you make now shape your future, just as the decisions of the past shaped today. So, instead of being overwhelmed by past failures or future possibilities, concentrate on what you can control right now.

To all the dreamers and doers out there: your past doesn’t define you, and the future isn’t set in stone. The only thing you can truly influence is the present. Take that step today—whether it’s learning a new skill, starting a business, or just deciding to move forward.

So, here’s my advice: stop looking backwards, and don’t get lost in what might come. Live fully in the moment, appreciate what you have, and know that you can change your life at any time with the choices you make today.

As I reflect on my own journey, from driving big rigs to running a successful online business, it’s clear that my mindset was key. I didn’t let my past hold me back, nor did I let the fear of the future stop me. And that’s a lesson worth sharing.

So, what will you do today to create the tomorrow you want? Remember, “yesterday’s tomorrow is today.” Seize it.

Here’s to moving forward with purpose and passion.
