Hindsight is going to be my best friend now. We’ve always had a close relationship, but it’s become much more closer these days. I first heard the concept, a few months ago while listening to a clip of Bob Proctor’s seminar, “You can’t connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards”. When Steve Jobs said this, he was sure on to something. No time have I been sure of what to do and what not to do than when I looked back on how certain things turned out in my life. I’ve had ah ha moments and was able to connect dots that confused me for years when trying to figure it out in the moment. Worrying weather or not this risk I’m taking will work out or not, contemplating should I leave or should I stay, trying to figure out why I struggle in certain areas than most. All these things I was unable to figure out in the moment. It was when the time had passed and I examined the outcome as a whole looking back, that I realized, those hard days weren’t so hard after all, some were, but overall the puzzle had been made whole regardless and that’s always the goal for me. I need to put the pieces together, I need to understand the why’s and the why nots, it’s just a part of who I am and who I want to embrace, (with balance of course).
So in knowing this marvelous idea of hindsight, I decided I’ll take it a step further and use my imagination to think ahead as if hindsight has already taken place. That feeling of clarity and satisfaction I feel when in the thoughts of realization is what I’ll imagine when it’s time to take a risk I’m hesitant on. I’ll pretend the act has already been done, the time has already passed and the pressures has been released. I’ll then say to myself, I’m so glad I went through with that (whatever that is), I’ll say this was worth the wait, thank god I didn’t give up on myself, this all happened for a reason and I’m glad I can be here to live it out. So thank you Steve Jobs for saying this, for thinking what I was thinking, but able to put it into words and share it with the world. Also thank you to Bob Proctor for reiterating this concept with such clarity.
There’s no better feeling than the feeling of re-membering, everything just clicks, like the puzzle pieces that hindsight displays so clearly. It’s a feeling of elation in a subtle form, but not so subtle at the same time. If I could only live in this bubble for life I wonder what hindsight would show me then.

Thank you for taking the time out to read my first ever public blog, it truly means a lot. More peace and light to you all.
