Last night, I took the kids to see Meet the Robinson's. I normally don't find inspiration in the movies I see with the kids but this one was a bit different. The story itself is your normal hero's journey and ends predictably well.
The part I really liked though was the theme of Keep Moving Forward. It was the mantra of the Robinson family. Don't dwell in the past but move ahead with your ideas. Know that you will make mistakes but learn from them, don't become bogged down with them. In other words, keep moving forward.
The movie ended with a quote from Walt Disney:
“Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.
We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things… and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”
I'm making this my new focus, both personally and professionally, the past is the past but you have to keep moving forward. We'll see how it goes.
