Focus Forward

There are these abstract, amorphous things called 'life lessons' people are supposed to learn. I am not sure how many of us do, but undoubtedly we learn them in different ways. One of them I have been learning for far longer than I wish is to focus forward. Do not let setbacks actually set you back but find a way to keep moving forward. Sometimes that means changing directions and sometimes that means going ahead regardless. It can be hard to know which it is you should do, but it is very much worth figuring out. Personally, I think the path I am on is the path I am going to stay on if only because there is no other path I can see. Options would be nice, but when you can find a measure of satisfaction and happiness with what you are doing, why abandon it?
