You Cannot Live Your Life Walking Forwards Looking Backwards

An unpopular opinion today. So many people are convinced they cannot move forward until every issue from their past is fully processed — and I believe we're swimming in what I call Big Therapy: an industry that, at its worst, keeps people circling the same story for years. To be clear: real suffering is real, criminal acts should be prosecuted, and some therapists do excellent work. But getting a story about why you can't move forward, and rehearsing it at 30, 40, 50, 60 — what is that building? Life cannot be lived walking forwards while looking backwards. What works is unpopular: total, radical responsibility. Yes, those things happened. Yes, they were bad. And eventually, you still have to walk forward — because no one else can do this for you.Grab my book Bridging the Gap free as an audiobook — search "Bridging the Gap Jonathan Doyle" on any podcast app.Corporate speaking and executive coaching enquiries: jonathandoyle.co.Follow the daily videos: YouTube · InstagramA new one every morning.
