4 Things holding you back from moving on with your life

Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live. -Dorothy Thompson.

You have decided that you are not gaining anything from your relationship, friendship or job and you have also decided that you will quit. Months have passed since your decision and you still find yourself at the same place, you haven't finalized your decision. These are 4 things holding you back from moving on.

1.   Fear of the unknown

One of the greatest fear which limits human is the fear of the unknown. This is being scared of what the future holds for you. Winning the battle against this fear holds the key to move on with your life. One of the ways I conquer this fear is me trusting my creator; God, and me also putting my best and believing for the best result in what am about to do.

One of the things that intensify this fear which I have previously experienced in my life and I have also seen in people's life is past or present failure. Failure has a way of enriching this fear. For example, because you past and present relationships failed doesn't mean you won't get married. It might only mean there is something you need to change in your attitude. Failure is fatal when you consider it final. Move on with your life, forget past failures and unlock your true potential.

2.   Too addicted to let go

Decisions to move on are just words when your mind isn't made up. Negative addiction is a cancer to experiencing success in your life. Negative addiction prevents you from moving on to the next stage of their life. Breaking an addition requires real effort from you. It requires maturity; a new paradigm is required to break the bonds of addiction.

3.   Being afraid of what people will say

Back when I was young, the decisions I made were greatly influenced by friends because I didn't want to offend them. Over time, I have made new friends, lost some of the old ones and have also discovered that I am the pioneer of my life. If anything bad happens, I am the one who will live the consequences.

Living your life to please others will only lead to frustration because you will never be able to please them. Putting yourself in continuous pain when you have an option just because your friends are doing it will only lead to greater pains in the future. Make a decision to move on with your life. No one lives forever, so why don't you make the best out of the little time God has given you.

4.   Still living in the past

Getting over with the past and facing the realities of the present is important to experience personal growth. Don't get lost on how rosy your past was. Focus on how to make your present rosy. Don't let the memories of the past hold you back from making decisions which will positively impact your future. You are the architect of your life. Move on with your life this very instant.
