Our mental attitude is important in moving forward after significant trials. We can easily get stuck in the past.
Some people are pessimistic in nature, dwelling on the past problems. Optimists, on the other hand, want to look hopefully towards a brighter future.
The Apostle Paul experienced many difficulties in his life including beatings, persecutions and prison, yet was an optimist.
He wrote in Philippians 3:13, “But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
2020 was a challenging year for most in the business community. Let’s make 2021 a better year, pressing on towards the goals God has in store for us.
