Quote #168: Camdyn Sabourin

Hello! My name is Camdyn Sabourin, and I am high school senior at H. H. Dow High and a member of Dow High Student Leadership. A quote that is compelling to me is, “You cannot move forward while looking sideways,” said by an unknown individual.

The reason I find this quote so compelling is because for a very long time, I had been stuck looking sideways. It hindered my growth not just as a leader, but as a person. Once I realized that comparing myself to others in a negative way impacted me, I started to look forward. I then found myself making more growth than I ever had before. This quote supports my wellbeing because it reminds me to look inward and celebrate my strengths and abilities.

So, have you been looking sideways, and if yes, how can you change your perspective to look forward? This has been brought to you by the Midland Area Wellbeing Coalition's Quotes to Live By Series. Thank you so much for your time.
