MOVING ON

As humans we tend to become set in our ways but our wants and needs continually change whether we want them to or not.As such there comes a time when it becomes necessary to move on. It maybe from relationships, situations, ideas, attitudes etc. Most often than not it is  not a walk in the park although some may find it easier than others.

Does moving on mean to walk away? Or is it to let go? People sometimes confuse them. It is possible for one to walk away without letting go and vice versa. Personally I  have found it easier to move on from situations than relationships. Maybe it is because I invest more emotions in my human connections than with situations.

 When you make the decision to move on it is always important to ask why? when? and how? Moving on is a process that requires a certain amount of  resolve.In the true sense of the word it is simply striving to become your better self in order to lead a happier and more fulfilling life. Wanting more from life is not selfishness......
