Ultimately it doesn't matter whether you go forwards or backwards: you need to live your life as well as you can.

Live your best life, be your best self, give what you wish to receive.

I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

When your heart tells you something, you have to go with it.

Live all you can; it's a mistake not to. It doesn't so much matter what you do in particular, so long as you have your life. If you haven't had that what have you had?

I've always thought you have to live life looking forwards, not backwards. I've had no interest at all in who my ancestors are.
