Why is it hard to move on? By: Florida Romero

Let us admit to ourselves that one of the painful and very difficult events in human life is the process called "moving on."

We can say that it is normal for an individual to experience this throughout their lives. Even an elementary grader has already experienced the feeling of failure. Unless the person is out of sanity or deliberately born abnormal.

If moving on is difficult in adults, it is even more difficult in children. Some of them are traumatized by the abandonment of their parents. Especially if the father chooses to go with his lover instead of keeping their family together. And if the mother dies at a time when the children are not yet able to earn a living, it is a painful stage for the children.

During adolescence, we quickly admire people based solely on what our eyes see. We immediately fall in love with our friends, troops, or neighbors. Especially if they are glamorous or attractive. We idolize them so much that they seem to be our world. In this scenario, when things go wrong and the relationship broke you both, moving on is still the solution and it is not always easy.

Over time, as we age, we still experience the bitterness of life, such as breakups, and broken marriages, and like the previous examples, you have no choice but to accept all the pain and move on.

Moving on is a long but gradual process. Unlike any other first aid for illnesses such as antidepressants, when injected into the body, the pain goes away immediately when applied. It is not instantaneous to recover from this situation and we often lose the will to move on with life and the thought of ending life. Whenever we are positive in life, our recovery accelerates. Moving on depends on the person and how he handles the situation. Let’s just be strong and avoid stress.

Here are some helpful tips to recover: 1. Accept the truth and don’t overthink 2. Let go and love yourself more, 3. Don’t blame others or even yourself, 4. Focus on the possible reasons why God allowed this to happen, 5. Surrender yourself to God and give Him all the pain, 6. Seek God's guidance by praying, and 7. Always trust God's process.

Here are Bible verses for you: Psalm 28:7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoices; and with my song will I praise him.

Philippians 3: 10-14 RTPV05
My only desire now is to fully know Christ, experience the power of his resurrection, share in his sufferings, and be like him in his death so that I too may be raised from the dead. Not that I have achieved these things. Neither am I perfect; but I am trying to win the prize because that is why Christ Jesus called me. Brethren, I do not assume that I have achieved this. But one thing I do: I forget the past and try to reach the goal I want to achieve. I press on toward the goal for the prize of the calling of God in Christ Jesus, the life that leads to heaven.
