look back

Riding our bikes down a hill we had just climbed this morning my friend said, "isn't it cool that we can ride to the top of a hill like that?" We had climbed to the ridge of Griffith Park. It's not the alps or anything but it is a hill, and when you look up from the bottom it is pretty impressive.

Sometimes we need to look backwards in order to guage our accomplishments. Looking forward we can only see what we haven't done. Although we shouldn't live in the past, now and then, it's good to remember what we're capable of because we've actually already done it.
