Keep Your Eyes on the Road
I saw a great interview recently with football manager, Alex McLeish, which serves as a great metaphor for life…
McLeish’s team, Birmingham City had just lost a game to fellow Premiership strugglers, Reading, leaving them perilously close to the relegation zone with only 7 more games left this season. Asked about his reaction to the defeat he responded;
“We have to look forward… It’s not about what happened yesterday, or even what happened today… It’s about what happens next.”
How often in our own lives do we become paralysed by fears or regrets about what has happened to us in our past? How often do we fail to seize the opportunities that the future holds for us because our minds are trapped or limited in some way by our past experiences?
To use a motoring analogy, it’s like we drive through life with our eyes firmly glued to the rear view mirror... That we fail to take the many roads to opportunity that we pass along the way because instead of our focus being on what is in front of us, we keep it on what is already behind us.
What McLeish’s great quote reminds us of is that we don’t have to be held or conditioned by the chains of our past… That we are free at any time to set off in a new direction; to seize new opportunities, and to make more of our lives in the present than we have up until this point in our past.
Every day is a chance for us to begin anew, should we choose it to be so – a blank canvas, ready for us to create the masterpiece that we wish our lives to be. As Brian Tracy puts it, “It’s like getting a blank cheque on the future…”
To start your day off on a positive note, we invite you to use any of the many uplifting and inspirational video clips, or other resources available through Champions Club.
