3 Signs You’re Ready to Move On
What happens when you finally choose to say “yes” to life.
Have you ever had a hard time moving on?
It can be incredibly hard to leave the old and embrace the new. You’re desperate for a fresh start but afraid to leave what you know. More than anything, you want to leave the past behind and move forward but you aren’t sure of your next step. You dream of what your life could look like in the future. The problem is you don’t know how to get from here to there.
In short, you feel stuck.
You wonder if you’re going to be stuck in this same place forever. People around you seem like they’re going on with their lives. Even though you mentally want to move on, something inside you fights against it. It’s like part of you thinks you don’t deserve a new life.
Why is it so hard to let go and move on? Because you fear the consequences of letting go of what you had (or thought you had). To be specific, you fear the unknown. But there will come a time–maybe soon, maybe later–when you will see the price of staying where you are is too great. How will you know when you get to that point?
Here are three signs you’re ready to move on.
