Thinking Onwards

To think onwards is to reason or utilise the mind to consider something carefully in a forward direction. It is the capacity to reason out a matter, idea, thought pattern etc, in a manner that propels one forward. Thinking onwards simply means thinking out of the box, comfort zones, or any place that tend to make you get too satisfied with where you are, hence making you or pushing you to the next phase of your life.

Thinking onwards does not mean some negative thoughts won't cross your mind, and that there won't be times when one would think backwards. What it is saying in essence is that in the midst of the negative thoughts trying to get your attention, you are still in control, replacing it with positive thoughts. And even when you have to look backwards or take some steps backwards, you still haven't lost your focus of moving forward, hence a redirection from backwards to forward.

Make no mistakes about it, there would be times when in order for you to think onwards, you would have to think backwards. It happens to almost everybody. It occurs sometimes during the period of reflection. And sometimes, for someone to move forward, one has to take some steps backwards. I am sure you must have heard statements like the way up, is to know the way down. These are things that just don't happen in the movies alone, they happen in reality. Sometimes we get so fixed on the onward part, that we forget that some backward parts lead to the onward part. There are no one route to the part of success. If there has to be, then it has to be the supernatural. Here on planet earth, no one can say he/she is the only way or his/her path is the only path that leads forward.

To think that some of us want to be going up and up without knowing the way down, is what tickles my fancy. Hello sweet! Take it slow (easy), life is not like that. Sometimes you go up, and sometimes you come down.

I understand what it means to be up there and then one comes down. But the fact is that your downtimes doesn't make you less than who you are. It is a time for you to reflect, appraise, put the necessary measures in place, and refire again. It's all in the mind. So anyone who is taking advantage of your down times, is only doing it at his/her own risk.

The reasons why certain persons would want to stay up forever without tasting what it means to come down, would suggest to you the kind of spirit that is at work in them. These are reasons why certain people would do unwholesome things and the unbelievable to stay up there. But does it last forever? What goes up must come down, and if it comes down the wrong way, it crash lands.

But the onward thinking is not so, it knows when to think backwards and forward. It also knows how to manage going backwards and moving forward. This is the quote: I move forward when I think onwards. The only time looking backwards can benefit me, is when it redirects me forward... #Reason #Consider carefully #Reflect #Appraise #Forward direction #The next Phase.
