Moving On Quotes and Sayings - Time to Move On Quotes

Courage doesn't always roar.
Sometimes courage is the quiet voice
at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow."
- Mary Anne Radmacher

(Skip to Moving On Quotes)

It is time to begin moving on in life whenever you feel stuck in a job, relationship, or other situation. If you have had a relationship break up, or have been fired, find constructive ways to let go of the past, move on, and build a great new life.

Is it easy to move on? No, it is almost never easy to let go of the past. Often, gathering the courage to move on in your life can be one of the hardest challenges you have ever faced. It is completely natural and the essence of human nature, to want to cling to the familiar and to shy away from the new and the unfamiliar. We are creatures of habit. We want to believe that tomorrow will be just like yesterday - even if yesterday was unpleasant. It takes courage to make the difficult choice to change how one lives, where one calls home, what job or career one identifies with, and who one calls friend.

When making the difficult choice to let go of a painful situation and to create a new future, do make a special effort to find those elements of your past that are still valid, and to which you can still hold firm. Identify those friends and family members who will support you in your new location, your new career, or your new relationship. If your spiritual family is not what you are moving away from, renew your connection with it. If you are not changing careers, even if you are changing employers, renew your professional connections. In short, decisively break those ties that are limiting your future, but reaffirm those connections that support your true self.
