Nine Ways to Keep Moving Forward in Life

Posted: 27 Nov 2008 10:15 PM CST

"Around here we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things." – Walt Disney

Life can hit hard. Sometimes you get knocked down when you don't even see it coming. Some are cheap shots, some are glancing blows and some can bring you to your knees. When this happens, it's not about how hard you get hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, but still find the strength to keep moving forward. It’s about having the will to continue in spite of the obstacles.

It is interesting where inspiration can be found at times. Our son, Andrew, bought the Rocky Series not long ago. This DVD set contains all six Rocky movies. Recently, I had an opportunity to watch the last movie in the series, Rocky Balboa, with my son. The movie contains a very poignant scene between Rocky and his son. The message Rocky delivers is one of hope, courage and determination when life hits hard:

This scene is a great reminder that character is not defined by what happens to you, but rather by how you react to what happens to you. When you get hit, do you stay down? Or do you reach down somewhere deep inside of you and pull up the courage that lifts you back on your feet to keep moving forward? You do have a choice. Consider these Nine Ways to Keep Moving Forward when you are faced with this choice again.

Forget Regret
Leave your mistakes and regret in the past. They don't define your value, then or now. When you stay in the past you become stuck and unable to move forward. We all have made mistakes with our job choices, friends and relationships. The consequences can hit us pretty hard. However, to begin learning how to put these experiences behind us – by letting them go, we can begin to live in the here and now. Give yourself the gift of forgiveness and keep moving forward.

Learn from Failure
Learning from failure and having regret are two separate things. Regret is an emotion; a feeling of disappointment along with a modest amount of shame or guilt. But to look back at a circumstance and figure out what went wrong gives you some very important information. This review allows you to evaluate what worked and what didn't, and more importantly, why. Often when you are removed from a situation, you can look at it more objectively which will allow you to make better choices to keep moving forward.

Ask for Help
You are not alone. It may feel that way sometimes, but there are many people who would extend their hand and lift you up if asked. All you have to do is ask. Consider co-workers, neighbors, or your church. Often times we are afraid to ask because we don't believe we are worthy to receive the help. Think about this: we are surrounded by millions and millions of people by design - for a purpose. A hand to grasp, a shoulder to cling, and a face to radiate hope can help you to keep moving forward.


Believe You are Worthy
Whatever your goal, your dream, or your desire, you are worthy of achieving it. The closer you get to it is when the enemy of you soul will begin putting doubt in your mind by playing the self-limiting tapes that say you are not worthy. Replace these old tapes with a newer one that contains the truth – you are worthy to have your heart's true desire and to keep moving forward.

Take 100% Responsibility
Except in rare and unfortunate circumstances, you are responsible for the quality and condition of your life. Your career, your relationships and your happiness are all under your direct control. Sometimes we choose to do nothing when we get hit hard because it's just easier and less painful that way. But the real pain is only deferred. You have to live with yourself. You have to live with the voice in your gut, your inner wisdom, that says you gave up too soon or didn't try hard enough. When you hear this inner voice speaking to you, it's usually right. It's your choice, then, to get up and keep moving forward.

Know What You Want
This isn't about the how, only the what. In order to move forward in life, you need a firm foundation to step from. Understanding what and where you want to go in life will provide your vision and spirit – your foundation. The how will figure itself out when you know you want to keep moving forward.

Trust
There are no accidents without value. When you get hit hard and land on your back, look for the reasons and for the value in this. Open your heart and trust this happened for a reason. Perhaps it was to test your determination or to alert you to the fact you were on the wrong path. Either way, trust the experience is happening for a reason and be open to making adjustments in order to keep moving forward.

Want it More
How badly do you want it? How badly do you really want to achieve what you are working so hard to accomplish? When you get hit hard, you have an opportunity to answer this question. It's one thing to say you want to do something, or to be something. But to walk through the pain; to get up and keep moving forward knowing there may be more pain ahead, is a test of your determination and resolve. When you find yourself getting back on your feet, you have indeed answered this question and there's no doubt you will keep moving forward.

Keep the Faith
Faith: A strong belief in something without proof or evidence
At the end of the day when you are weary from all of the effort and energy you have expended and you are sore and tired from being hit hard so many times, but the dream is not realized, the one thing that tells you to keep going; to get up tomorrow and to keep moving forward, is your faith. Honor this and cherish it. Faith is what makes you human. It gives you energy and hope. And if you let it, your faith will deliver you to wherever you want to go in life.

Terror in Mumbai:
Militants and security forces in Mumbai continued to clash in gun battles as the violent standoff stretched into its third day. The death toll in the terrorist attacks has grown to at least 148 people, including two Americans who were traveling with a Virginia-based, nonsectarian spiritual and educational organization.

Happy Thanksgiving to Our Readers!

Posted: 27 Nov 2008 10:36 AM CST

Though I’m taking today and tomorrow off to spend with my wife, two children, and our extended family, I wanted to take a moment to wish our readers here in the United States a Happy Thanksgiving!   For the rest of you around the world that don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, today is a day where we spend time with our families and typically reflect on the positives in our lives.  We’ve all got our problems, so having a day to recognize the good things is important in my opinion.

In order to tie this post to this website, I’d like to acknowledge WordPress as one of the things I am most thankful for in my “online life.”   In addition to making a great blogging software, it has also served my needs when it comes to building a Content Management System (CMS), creating basic static pages for other websites, etc.   WordPress has helped to make my online life better, so I’d like to thank the WordPress team for all the hard work they do, and the WordPress community for all the themes, plugins, and other contributions users make to help improve my WordPress experience.

What are you most thankful for this holiday season?

Talking turkey about chicken
It may be the season of turkey, but in Atlanta, chicken rules. The city is home to the No. 2 and No. 3 fried chicken chains, Popeyes and Church's. Chick-fil-A, the largest chicken sandwich chain by the way, also is based in Atlanta.

Stocks mixed after streak of gains
Wall Street wavered in a narrow range Friday following its advance earlier in the week, as investors traded in small numbers and anticipated a weak holiday shopping season. The stock market is closing three hours early at 1 p.m. EST, so the session is expected to be quiet.

Why time stands still for watchmakers
Because brand names generally are centered on the upper half of a watch, hands positioned at 10 and 2 "frame the brand and logo," said Andrew Block, executive vice president at Tourneau, the watch retailer, which has 51 stores worldwide. "It's almost like an unwritten rule that everyone understands to photograph a watch a 10:10."
