moving on

It is amazing what happens when you realize that everyone is going to focus their energy on different things and that most of the time it is pretty inconsequential to you what others focus their energy on. This is what can make moving on so difficult. Letting go of all of the energy in a relationship, job, or experience can take an exerted effort. If you are willing to put the energy into letting go and healing upfront then you get to enjoy your next experiance completely. You get to move, change, and redefine life based on the lessons that you received from the last experience, letting you truly move on and have a full and new journey.

umbilical cord

Sometime in life it feels like you just have to cut your umbilical cord and start fresh in order to really survive. Maybe you held onto a friendship a little too long, kept trying to make something in your life work that just wouldn't, or kept a job that was stable even though it never really fulfilled you. Somehow you end up frustrated with life and realizing that you just have to take control of what you want to happen. It's scary to take the risk that you need to take in order to find out if you can succeed when you challenge yourself. Yet somehow it is also relaxing at the same time. I find that I end up being nicer to other people because I am really focusing on what I need to focus on and not the silly crap.
