 People Who Love Turning Back Instead Of Forging Ahead often Do So Because of these 14 Things

Turn back refers to retrace one’s course. It is to go back to a previous state or condition. It is also to turn round, go back, or return. For example, you are going on a journey and along the way you decided to change your mind from going any further due to reasons best known to only you. These your reasons may not be accepted by other people as the case may be. The word forge means to move ahead steadily. It is to move heavily and slowly, as a ship after the sails are furled; to work one’s way, as one ship in out sailing another; it is used especially in the phrase to forge ahead. So turning back is the opposite of forging ahead or moving ahead steadily. Below are some reasons why most people love turning back instead of forging ahead:

1.     1. Negative thought or poor imagination: Sometimes, people think where they are coming from is better than where they are going. They are not certain or sure of where they are going. Because of these uncertainties, many people do not belief in where they are going to. They are skeptical about the whole situation or thing.

This is why on their way to where they initially wanted to go, they change their mind from forging ahead. Negative thought and poor imagination has led many people to deviate from what they should actually do or be doing.

 Most often, when people turn back or turn away from what they actually supposed to be doing they end up doing other things they ought not to do or be doing. And that is why they are not succeeding.

2.     2. They love where they are coming from even when it is not the best for them: By loving where they are coming from, it simply means that they are comfortable with their comfort zones. When you are comfortable with your comfort zone, you will not be interested in moving away from the said comfort zone.

In trying to move ahead, they often change their mind from doing so. They no longer see any good reasons for why they should forge ahead. All these happened because they are comfortable with their comfort zone.

When you cannot give yourself a good reason for going ahead or moving ahead in or with your journey, you will find it difficult moving ahead. You will prefer going back to your previous state or condition. This happened most times as a result of loss of hope or despondent or despair or pessimism.

3.     3. They do not want to let go of the past: Holding onto the past has a huge negative effect on you trying to move ahead or forward. Each time you are trying to make an effort, the past keep affecting you and pulling you back. The past does not have power over you except you empower the past.

The past is a learning means to the present and then to the future. What you learn from the past is meant to guide you in what you are doing now. The mistakes you did in the past are experiences for you not to repeat them again. So holding to those mistakes and refusing to let go or forgive yourself is seriously a limitation to your ability to forge ahead.

A lack of forgiveness on one’s part is very harmful to self-growth. It is self- imprisonment. You lose your freedom when you hold to the past and refuse to let go. The situation you find yourself will be like this, one leg forward, two legs backward or even three.

4.     4. They do not know where they are going to: Some people have somewhere to go and they know where they are going or wanted to go. While there are also people who do not know where they are going to or wanted to go.

It sound or look funny that some people do not know where they are going. It is true they do not. That is why they are busy doing every other things which pleases them or their flesh. Those who know where they are going to, do not do every other things just to please themselves.

They focus on doing the things they should do and be doing. So those who do not know where they are going to, often do well in turning back rather than to forge ahead.

5.     5. They have lot of excuses to give: People who love turning back in their journey have lot of excuses to give why they choose to turn back in their journey. Their excuses may be genuine to them but does not mean those excuses are really or actually ok.

Why? Because those who love to move ahead have their own reasons for doing so. Which often conflict with the reasons given by those who do not love to forge ahead.

In either cases, those who are optimistic about their lives keep moving ahead while who are pessimistic about their own lives keep turning back again and again. Their excuses influences them negatively to do less things.

6.     6. Fear and intimidation and negatve confession: Fear and intimidation and negative confession are one category of variable which causes people to always turn back from doing the major things in their lives. Fear means to be uneasy or apprehensive about something. It is to be afraid or feel anxious or apprehensive about a possible or probable situation or event.

Intimidation is a communication that makes you afraid to try something. Any communication that makes you afraid to do something is negative confession or communication. The words coming out of your mouth are confessions or communication. It can take place or happen between two or more people or within the individual.

The communication that happen or take place within the individual is called intra-personal communication. If the communication is negative, it become a negative confession. These negative confessions or communications become intimidation when it prevent you or somebody from trying to do something.

What a person says from his or her mouth can become intimidation to him or her if they stop or prevent him or her from moving ahead or forge ahead or trying to do something great or worthwhile.

7.     7. Lack of curiosity: Curiosity is the disposition to acquire, investigate, or seek after knowledge; a desire to gratify the mind with new information or objects of interest; inquisitiveness. It is that which is curious, or fitted to excite or reward attention.

From our definition of curiosity, curiosity makes one to become critical about what is happening around him or her and tries to find out about them. It makes you to be interested in finding solutions to your problems.

People who go through their problems do so because of their curiosity to solve the problems before them. But those who are not curious about their problems often prefer to go around their problems. So one reason most people love turning back is due to lack of curiosity.

8.     8. Lack of faith or doubt: Most times, most people lack faith in what they want to achieve or doubt themselves or their abilities. By so doing, they negatively affect their actions. They no longer have the confidence to do the things they should be doing.

Doubt pulls people from the actual path into out of the path. They end up indulging in less important things and spend all their time doing those less important things.

Most people turn back from moving forward or moving ahead because they are suffering from a lack of faith or doubt in what they want to chieve and in themselves and in what they are capable of doing. So turning back is their only option.

9.     9. They do not want to bear the burden of forging ahead: The truth here is that most people love the benefits but not the burden. The burden are the pains you are going to feel and bear while doing all the things that you should do and be doing. Without feeling the burden, you may also not feel the benefits. The burden and the benefits goes to together.

The real reason most people love turning back in their journey is that they fear the burden. This makes them to become comfortable with their comfort zones.

The difference between those who forge ahead and those who are afraid to forge ahead is that those who love to forge ahead are not afraid of the burden because the burdens are prices to greatness.

10. 10. Procrastination: Procrastination is the habit of procrastinating, or putting off to a future time; delay; dilatoriness. It is slowness as a consequence of not getting around to it.

Procrastination prevents people from moving ahead or from going through their problems. Instead it makes people to pick interest in going around their problems until they end up failing in their duties.

The more an individual procrastinate in his or her duties, the more he or she tends to turn back from going any further in doing those duties. Many people in life had failed and are still failing because of procrastination. Procrastination carries short-term pleasure and long-term sorrow.

14. 14. Lack of poise/ brace: Poise is great coolness and composure under strain. It is to prepare oneself for something unpleasant or difficult. When you lose your composure, you will lose your focus as well.

The reason for dodging distasteful duties is that people rare prepare for such duties.
