Moving On

Having goals and dreams gives everyone something to strive for in life. An optimist would say you have to do whatever it takes to achieve those. A realist would say there is a time and a place to say the heck with it. How and when you do this is the difference between giving up and moving on. 

Giving up is done when the going gets tough. Quitters choose to give up. It is a conscious choice. 

Moving on is different. Moving on is what you do when you have exhausted all other options, when there are external factors that are stopping your accomplishment. Maybe it's a raise you've been holding out for, dreaming of making the big bucks. Or that guy you've been chasing for years, hoping some day, he'll suddenly realize he is madly in love with you. There are some things you can't make happen. You just have to accept it, move on, and look for new goals, new achievements. 

There is a whole world of opportunity out there just waiting for you. Don't get stuck in a rut because there is one thing you can't get. If you spend your whole life focusing on what you can't have, you will miss the beauty in what you do have.

Move on...to brighter pastures and a fantastic future.
