Windshield vs Rearview Mirror


I am not a huge Tom Daschle fan, however I recently read an article concerning him that contained a slogan he used with his family that I enjoy. “ The windshield is bigger than the rear view mirror.” Though he doesn’t explicate his exact meeting the context is clear enough..

There’s a reason why the rear view mirror is only a very small portion of the size of your overall front-window. It’s because you’re meant to only have your past be there for an occasional reference, only for periodic glimpses back. Your rear view mirror does little to help you navigate the road before you.

Thomas Monson in last conference clearly labeled it: “Be of good cheer. The future is as bright as your faith” Even in challenging times we need to be looking forward.
