Looking Back, Looking Forward

Looking back at our accomplishments, and forward toward our goals, can be a rewarding activity. Focusing on our good experiences, and imagining our “best possible self” can be one step toward building happiness.

This exercise is a good starting point to plan your next step such as graduating from college, having children, or entering retirement. Think about your strengths that helped you overcome challenges and discuss how they can be of value in the future.

You live life looking forward, you understand life looking backward. — Soren Kierkegaard
