Forgetting what is behind and looking ahead

This past Sunday, I preached from Philippians 3. This was Paul's confession of his past as garbage. Now that he is in Christ, he finds far greater value in his life. He tells in this letter to forget what is behind and look ahead. This has been a big encouragement to me. If I think about the past, when I was more healthier than now, I am very discouraged. But I was reminded not to dwell in the past but look ahead. I anticipate all that God will do. I want to look ahead in trusting God.
