The Life Series: Get On With Life

So I have been reading a book by Richard Templar which he titled "the rules of life". I have found it exciting and I think it's worth your time too so if you can, you should get a hold of it. You can take this as my Gift to you in this month of love. Well I was particularly intrigued by one of the chapters in this book which is the topic of this article.

Why do people hold grudges and refuse to let go? I mean why would someone just choose to be in so much discomfort for so many years over something that has happened a long time ago. There are times that offences are passes from one generation to another. In fact this latter instance is something I still have not understood till now.

Life has everything and somehow someway we'd experience almost everything. Both the hurt and the pain and the good and the bad. I guess what I'm trying to say is some things are bound to happen and inevitable so what do we do when the happen? Halt our lives and begin to regret and remain in pain? No!

Move on! We are meant to live life. So if you're in one spot reminiscing or dwelling on one event or occurrence, then you're not living at all. One of lives qualities is that I has past, present and the future. We can't do anything about what has past but surprisingly people won't just let it go.

Imagine this scenario, when we lose people or when they die, we do not hold on to their dead bodies and keep them in our houses to continue living with us. We bury them and say farewell, but hold on to the memories of the times they spent with us. Why is it that when it comes to hate or grudge, we can't just do same? Is it so hard to bury a feeling? Is burying a human more easy? Yet we find it hard to let go of offences.

I've often heard people say that the pain is too much for they to forget. So what, you'd rather keep such enormous pain inside and stop loving life? This is sad! Let it all out and gone! Nothing is worth halting life over. No matter the pain, yours is not the worst as there will always be someone who has been in a more painful situation than you and they are doing just fine, so what's your excuse?

The past should be just that, past! Letting it impede your growth in the present as well as the future is the most painful thing you could ever do to yourself. You deserve a chance at happiness, we all do and until that pain inside is let out, there will be no getting on. I'd like to also talk about those who think or lie to themselves that they've moved on but really haven't. A car that is ignited and the engine is running but begins to move round in circles is only moving but there is no destination neither is there a direction. Getting on is not just passively drifting like zooplankton in water but having a path and plan for your life, else you'd just be moving but there's nothing to show for it. Not until there a destination and path to take, there will be no future and you'd agree with me that the future is very important.

Conclusion

Get past that roadblock and impediment and start the journey. You might have been running the engine, but it's time to get the real ride started. Get on with your life and let what's be past because like Templar said, it's whooshing past!

Thanks for reading!
