Two of the images that I processed this week had the words Looking Forward in the title.\u00a0 The images were photographs looking towards the front or bow of two different ships.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thinking about those titles led to thinking about looking forward in life.\u00a0 We are advised not to look backwards towards the past but to keep our focus on the present.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What about the future?\u00a0 Isn\u2019t looking forward in life about focusing on the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you most often focus on the present or the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If your focus is on the future more often than the past or present, how far into the future is your focus?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Are you focusing on this afternoon? This evening?\u00a0 Tonight?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is your future tomorrow? Next week?\u00a0 Next month or next year?<\/strong><\/p>\n

How far ahead are you looking when you are looking forward?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Are there events that you are \u201clooking forward\u201d to attending?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Are there people that you are \u201clooking forward\u201d to seeing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am \u201clooking forward\u201d to getting this blog post online and ready for you to read and ponder!<\/strong><\/p>\n
