Daily Inspiration: Personal Motivation – “You will never move forward if you keep looking back!”

“You will never move forward if you keep looking back!” – Futurist Jim Carroll

Some years ago, someone on a social media network somewhere decided that “Monday’s are for motivation” and launched the idea that social media posts on that day should have some sort of inspirational edge. The idea being that Monday is such a mind-crushing day that people need some soft of extra motivational oomph! to get them going.

The result is today, if you are online, you’ll find posts with the hashtags #mondaymotivation #motivationalmondays and more.

So given that it’s Monday, if you need some motivation, here are some thoughts to run with – all in the style of if you don’t X, you’ll never achieve Y! I stared out by thinking about the need to look forward rather than looking back – and went from there!
