Learning to move forward

I made it a point to post something everyday. This was probably something I thought about posting in the car on the way to work this morning. 

 Moving forward. 
I never really understood the importance of this phrase till last year. I came across many crossroads that I myself had to make a decision in choosing which path to take, and that no one else but myself could help me. That meant endless sleepless nights for a few months till I finally could accept reality and finally, move forward. 

It is an indescribable feeling, and only those who have experienced it will know the amount of happiness and satisfaction it can grant you. Although at times I feel a certain bitterness when friends of mine get to live the dream I have always wanted, it does not hurt me as much anymore as when I thought of it the first time. 

I was put in a situation where I had no choice but to pick myself up and let go of whatever I thought could be still a possibility. I had my family and friends who were constantly there to encourage and support me to look on the brighter side of things and that it wasn't actually the end of the road like how I saw it. My dad was the one who made me realize that I had to let go of whatever had happened in order for me to fully accept whatever new opportunities that were headed my way. Not forgetting my mum also who was so worried and rushed to help me get everything settled as soon as possible. 

Some people get things their way easily. They barely have to lift a finger, and things fall into place for them smoothly. But they complain about the silliest things in life when they obviously have everything and anything they need.

Some people work endlessly but in the end things still don't work out the way they want it to be. They look at all their peers who some don't even deserve whatever they have, because they do not know how to appreciate the things that are given to them. They feel frustrated with people who complain when they already have everything under their noses. 

I have been very unfortunate this while, having to learn how tough reality actually is by coming across endless hurdles in life. At one point of time, it was as if nothing I did could be right again. 
But I remember once in AKLTG:
"There are no failures, only learning experiences" 

And I think although it is a challenge, that has kept me going till this day.
