Backwards Quote by Anthony J. Does
““So much time and energy is wasted when we worry about the past. Every time we walk back into yesterday's yarn we get tangled up in its woolly story. We were not created by God with an extra set of eyes on the back of our head because God did not intend for us to keep looking backwards. Don't rehearse your reverse. The Apostle Paul got it right when he said, 'I press on'. Press on, beyond the past, into your tomorrow.””
