Move On


I'm afraid that I'm holding you back. I'm also afraid that you might be holding me back as well. So, maybe it's for the best.

It'll be hard, but I think I can manage without you.

Each life is a session of phases. Moving from one to another, many at a time, beginnings and endings blurring together. Some easy to see, some not seen until much time has passed. Some by choice and others as unwanted as ever possible.

Life phases help us to grow. To see inside ourselves. To mold and bend and create our character like any other teacher never can. A life phase can be the most painful and difficult lesson ever taught, and at the same time be the most soul searching and progressive period in our life time. Some people have come out of a trial being stronger and more self empowering than they ever thought possible for themselves.

The line between different phases of life are sometimes blurry, and sometimes they are as crystal clear as making a choice. The hardest part of entering a new life phase can be the choice itself, and then all pieces fall into place. When is the right time to hold on? When is it better to stay in a particular life phase, rather than moving on to the next one? Is it human nature to want to stay in the same safe and secure place, or to move in the way way of progression? When is it time to make the decision and move into the next phase of life?

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted:
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;


"Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There is a Season)"
