look back and then look forward

sometimes a day is all a person needs to put things back into perspective..
sometimes it is good to be reminded of why we do certain things and why we believe in the things we do..
and sometimes it is better to stop and look back than move in a fast pace and keep moving forward aimlessly..
because it is only in stopping or in slowing down that we get to see the view, enjoy the experience and feel the moment..
it is only in looking back that we remember that that was who we were,
that we see that this is who we are now,
and also notice the little discrepancies between then and now
it is important that we know who we were in order for us to move forward and be better persons today and in the future
