Think of your goal (having a more successful business, a rewarding relationship, greater health, or whatever it is for you), as a wonderful new vacation spot.  Let's imagine your goal as a quiet, hidden beach.  Just because you haven't been there yet, it doesn't mean you can't get there.  When you hop in your car to cruise down the road to that wonderful beach that you have been dreaming about, would you drive there looking in your rearview mirror?  Nope.  You might not make it out of your own neighborhood with your eyes glued to the street behind you.  I sure couldn't - I have a tricky turn at the end of my block.  Yet, that is how many people approach their goals.  As a life coach expert, in my work with individuals and groups, I have found that many people aren't reaching their dreams because they are (often unconsciously) focused on their past failures.  Many people are concentrating on the reasons they can't have what they want - instead of where they want to go.
