Moving On



Moving on – such a descriptive combination of words that could pretty much mean anything depending on how you use it. But one of the most common uses is when something bad happens in someone’s life and well the only thing that one can do is move on.

But when does that actually occur, I mean when does a person finally realize that that is that and it is time to move on? People all over the world have difference reasons or situations on when they would simply need to move on, but what does it take for them to make that finally decision? I mean can’t we most of those times, before things get way to crazy; seriously there are many things in our lives that I am pretty certain that there are enough signs to let us know that we need to stop going through what we are going through and allow ourselves to – Move on-.

I know for a fact that I would never be able to cover each and every specific situation that individuals may have, from the death of a love one to the separation of a couple that have been together for sometime, to loosing a job to well…heck loosing your house, car, etc. The thing is that most if not all the things we go through or are going through…someone has gone through it and can provide their insight on how they coped with it. Or we can now just as easily look on the internet to get some support, ideas, heck even Support Groups related to what you may be going through. I know that we all have to go through our own grieving or anger or self pity, yah we need to experience it, but why drag it on and on? Why not experience it a bit, try and make the changes, if possible and if nothing then moves on.

I am astonished at these “Human” patterns, lol…ok…I know I am human too…ok well…but come one hasn’t anyone sat down and actually made of study of this, hmm..maybe so…I will need to look that up…what could it be…ahhh.”Human nature to consistently endure self pain that other have gone through”. Horrible, I will need to work on that. But anyhow the thing is that we like to go through this things that involve, family, love, finance and self that others have gone through yet we don’t bother getting help…I mean there are AAA, sex adictics anonymous, eating disorders, etc support groups out there….yah there are divorce support groups, relationship support groups, but why is there something for those “before” those things happen. I know there is therapy, but 90% of the people don’t like to go through that or is it maybe that they feel they don’t need it…but in fact they do.

I am only saying that, the old saying, “You are not the only one in the world going through that”, so why don’t we learn…yes we can cry, grieve a little but dragging it on and on for a period of time that is ridiculous…does not make sense. One thing is for sure I will do everything I can do teach at an early age my children about that concept…my thoughts and most importantly my experiences…because I know if I could teach them to be better to themselves they will be better to our society...maybe…will it work…I will try.

My Perspective:
Do not let things, grief, sadness, broken hearts drag on and on…there needs to be a point, that you decide to move on…move to that next great thing or experience…because, “If it do4es not kills us, can only make us stronger”. Be kind to yourself, be good to yourself, and everyone around you will be better off.
