Why You've Got To Look Back To Move Forward

Episode 139,   Apr 16, 2022, 10:00 PM

The past is behind us, and the future ahead. But to make it to the latter with a clear head and and aligned heart, we must reflect properly on the former. In this episode human development experts Mitch and Mills reflect on their journey and how important it is to recognise where they started.

Hands up, who remembers this ripper quote from The Lion King

โ€œ๐™๐™๐™š ๐™ฅ๐™–๐™จ๐™ฉ ๐™˜๐™–๐™ฃ ๐™๐™ช๐™ง๐™ฉ. ๐˜ฝ๐™ช๐™ฉ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™ฌ๐™–๐™ฎ ๐™„ ๐™จ๐™š๐™š ๐™ž๐™ฉ, ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช ๐™˜๐™–๐™ฃ ๐™š๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™๐™š๐™ง ๐™ง๐™ช๐™ฃ ๐™›๐™ง๐™ค๐™ข ๐™ž๐™ฉ ๐™ค๐™ง ๐™ก๐™š๐™–๐™ง๐™ฃ ๐™›๐™ง๐™ค๐™ข ๐™ž๐™ฉ.โ€

Ooh, chills am I right?!

But what exactly is it about this quote that gets the hairs on your arms standing up? Why does it make us inspired for the future? Thatโ€™s the idea weโ€™re focused on in todayโ€™s episode of ๐— ๐—๐—• ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜€โ€™ ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐˜€โ€ฆ ๐——๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜๐—ต๐˜† ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐——๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฟ, with Mitch and Mills discussing the absolute necessity of being able to look back, so you can shift forward.

You see, looking back isnโ€™t just about learning a lesson - itโ€™s also a way of recognising how far youโ€™ve come.

Because weโ€™re at our most inspired when we realise:ย 

๐™’๐™๐™š๐™ง๐™š ๐™ฌ๐™š ๐™ฌ๐™š๐™ง๐™šย  --> ๐™’๐™๐™š๐™ง๐™š ๐™ฌ๐™š ๐™–๐™ง๐™šย 

Is the same distance and journey asโ€ฆ

๐™’๐™๐™š๐™ง๐™š ๐™ฌ๐™š ๐™–๐™ง๐™šย  --> ๐™’๐™๐™š๐™ง๐™š ๐™ฌ๐™š ๐™ฌ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™ฉ ๐™ฉ๐™ค ๐™—๐™š

And if you could do that once, you can do it again.ย
