I’ve checked, I am the only one who has said this… according to Google.
There have been so many times in my life that I believe I have been moving backwards. Sometimes it was sliding back, many steps or ladder rings, depending on which metaphor I was using at the time.
Sometimes it was One Step forward Two Steps back, which is of course is still momentum in the wrong direction.
If I was lucky I could be Two Steps forward and only One step back.
I felt that I just couldn’t help myself from going in the wrong direction. Then, not that long ago I am sorry to say, I came up with this saying for myself. I was picturing my ‘goal’ as this place in front of me, off in the distance, and instead of it getting closer and closer it felt like it was moving farther and farther away. I distinctly remember thinking to myself, “If I ever want to get there I have to turn around so that I am traveling in the correct direction.” I know I can’t see my destination from this position, but I KNOW I am travelling in the correct direction. And besides, sometimes you need to see where you’ve been so you can see how far you’ve come.
