There is an insurance company that has a commercial running that speaks to accidents that come when looking into the rearview mirror. To many times we are distracted by things that are in our rearview mirrors. We need to learn from the past, but live in the present and move toward the future.
Philippians 3:13-14 (NIV)
13 Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,
14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
