Most look forward though. It would be difficult to figure out when that "switch" occurs, that moment when the focus shifts from what needs to get done now, to what we want to get done next year.

It has been my experience that looking forward is more proactive in terms of accomplishing goals. Sure looking back to determine where mistakes have been made is fine. The time should only be spent at that point taking what you can from the past before turning back around and marching forward.

The horizon of life is before us all. Sure there are clouds on the horizon, but identifying them and leveraging experience to lead you through them is key. We no not where we may be going, but does it really matter? After all, it is the moment that should make life truly worth living.

As long as we develop and push on to the way-points we set before us, the course should be relatively painless. I am not going to make any type of resolutions this year other than to continue my path towards the horizon. Keeping it both in sight and level.
