Backwards Dots

The Dots of Life Never Connect Looking Forward, Only Backwards

The First Rearview Dot

The reason I bought this domain and began writing this site is because I was listening to a podcast I love and heard the Steve Jobs quote: "You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future."I look forward to using this space to string along the dots of my life as I look backwards and hopefully inspire others to consider doing the same.

Another Dot In The Back

The worst feeling in life when something seemingly awful happens to you and you can't for the life of you understand how it will work out. Somehow though, it almost always works out.The key to working through the pain of the moment that I've found works best is: give myself grace and be kind to others despite the negative feelings

Another Dot Behind Me

A great thing I heard recently is that embracing your cringe is the single best way to be successful (the original author used the word wealthy, which I personally don't equate with success).I hope to spend time exploring ways to be cringier in my day to day life to test ideas and put myself out there more than I already do.Perhaps this is something that speaks to others as well.

Other Things

My vision is to build out this site into something interactive, but as with everything in life: it's a work in progress for the time being, so subscribe to stay tuned!
