Look Back, or Forward?
Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. – George Bernard Shaw
The only thing you’ll “find” when you look for yourself is who you were.
That kind of thinking puts you, and points towards, the past.
Nothing can be done, or made, or created, in the past.*
Look to create yourself.
That happens in the present and unfolds into the future.

* The past can be learned from, but so many people live-in/get-stuck-in the past. The past, and the future, are nice places to visit, but no where to live.
