I’d argue the least helpful sort of sight is hindsight. In support of this argument, I call my first witness, William Mulock<\/a>, who once said the following:<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not in the habit of looking back \u2013 I leave that till I get old.\u201d<\/p>\n

On its own, this quote is fine. But like most things, context is king.<\/p>\n

Mulock didn\u2019t say this as a 40-year-old \u2013 he didn\u2019t even say this as a 70-year-old; you\u2019d have to spot him another 30 years (70 + 30 = 100, you\u2019ll get the next one) before you\u2019d hit it.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s not like he didn\u2019t have things to look back on either. Mulock was a lawyer, Postmaster General, farmer, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Ontario, teacher, politician, and businessman.<\/p>\n

Mulock\u2019s quote and basic attitude regarding his life, present and past, feels appropriate for this year and decade more than any other. Looking ahead, it\u2019s not clear at all what the future will be like, but through the benefit of hindsight, you already know what you did, should have done, wish you could re-do.<\/p>\n

As we journey farther into 2020, I hope we can resist the temptation to look back and dwell in hindsight. No matter what\u2019s in store for us, we should meet it with momentum. And maybe the best is yet to come!<\/a><\/p>\n

I can\u2019t match the wisdom or words of Mulock, so instead, I will double-dip into his well of quotes, though this one is from when he was a spry 87-year-old (which if you’re doing the math at home is 100 – 87 = 13 years before the last quote):<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m still at work with my hand to the plough and my face to the future. The shadows of evening \u2026 lengthen about me but morning is in my heart. \u2026 the testimony I bear is this: that the castle of enchantment is not yet behind me, it is before me still and daily I catch glimpses of its battlements and towers. The best of life is always further on. The real lure is hidden from our eyes, somewhere behind the hills of time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
