Forward Rather than Backwards

If we make it to a point and want to go back, then why did we want to get to one point in the first place? Did we not think of all the options or outcomes? If something has gone wrong then why go back to the source? Backtracking makes us have to go through the struggles not twice as much but rather three times. You go through it once, backtrack and go through the struggles again, then for a third time you go through it to get back to the point. Why not keep going on the path? Or change directions, going back won't make it easier, won't make it better, it won't even make us more experienced, because we aren't going through new challenges but rather the same that we dread but still miss. Let's not go back, let's go forward, up, left, right, but never backwards. What we did is already done, the obstacles avoided the best we could. If we are going to a pot of gold, would it be wise to go back? If we keep going then we'll get closer to the gold until eventually we make it to the spot. Let's not let past events pull us back, let's use them to slingshot us forward. Let's keep pushing through and reach the next point, where we decided which way next. Isn't that the best part of the journey? Picking where to go next, because each corner is something new.
