Moving forward doesn't mean moving on
We must move forward in life to get us to where we are meant to go. Moving backwards or sideways keeps us at a standstill or sends into digression, you can only move forward to progress in this life.
Moving forwards can mean many things from work, school, home, city, family, relationships and even within yourself. We grow as we age, we become wiser, stronger, are more in control of our own destination, or that is what we are told. We all know that wisdom and strength come from hardships and pain, that sometimes where we land in life isn't up to us, at times, it just happens to us.
We can choose to sit and do nothing, watch the world around us grow and thrive, we can be content and live a full life that way, never reaching the place we're meant to be. We do this because we thinking that moving forward is moving on. We're afraid that if we take a step onward that we are leaving behind people that we love, places we have blossomed in, these things that made us who we are. Being afraid to move forth from fear of forgetting and disrespecting what was. Yet those life events have become us, the people, the places, the jobs, the schools, they made us who are are, they aren't being left behind, they move forward with us as we grow. Though they aren't tangible, they are very much real, they live inside of us, inside of our children, inside of our lives.
Moving forward is hard, it's scary and yes, it's necessary for all of us to face and occasionally, it takes a step backwards before we are ready to make that first footprint onto our new path.
Don't be scared, God, the universe, whatever it is that you believe in and put your faith in.......it's got you. It has pointed you in this direction and you are getting ready to move forward into an amazing life in which you can share the amazing part of you that you were afraid you were leaving behind.
