It depends. If you look forward to a thing or event, it means you are excited for it and can't wait for it to come.
e.g. "I'm looking forward to the party on Saturday."
"I'm looking forward to your visit."
If you want to say "keep going" or "be prepared" you can say "look forward" but it's probably better to say "look ahead".
"He's always looking ahead."
It means he is always prepared for what is to come and expects it.
