How to move on?


We usually encounter this question on love problems, especially with broken hearts. Hmmm, am I really talking about lovelife? I admit I am not very good at this, but let me share with you some learnings and observations I personally got from my "surroundings" and experiences.


M - make a decision to move on. God created us with the will - the freedom to choose, to make a choice. I believe that the first big step in moving on is to convince yourself that you have to move on. Stick with your decision and move on.

O - open your heart. It's not the end of the world, a bright and beautiful day is waiting for you. You may be wounded, but time heals all wounds. Smile a lot and open up your heart to God.

V - victor or a victim? No matter how dark and painful it was, there is always a lesson to learn. Victory is not the absence of failure, it's how you stand up and face the world with a renewed strength. So be a victor rather than a poor victim.

E - engage in activities with eternal values. You won't realize it until you go out and explore the world. A lot of hearts are hurting, a lot of minds are longing, a lot of lives are suffering, a lot of souls are searching . . . all more than you do. Share Jesus and share your blessings to others.


O - organize your thoughts and pamper yourself. You will feel good, you will look good. Rather than indulging with pity party, get a new hairdo, shop for new things, eat well, play badminton, watch good films, hang out with trusted friends. You can do a lot of better things.

N - now! You have been mourning for so long, hoping for nothing, crying like a river. Where did they bring you? Nowhere. Time to move on. And that time is now! Surrender your life to Jesus. If you're a Christian, recommit yourself to Him. Jesus not only heals, He also restores, He makes the broken whole, He gives hope, He is faithful and He is your Savior . . .
