You're not supposed to look back, you're supposed to keep going...

I keep going forward because i have no choice. Life does not stop for me, the clock does not stop ticking and the earth dus not stop turning. When we stop going forward we stop living. When we stay in the past we become disconnected from the rest that move forward. I will not stay in the past again. I wil keep on going forward working towards my dreams and ambitions and if somehow one of those dreams and ambitions get shatterd....... i'll still move forward. We are human and we will ALWAYS find a new reason to live.

I agree that you should never look back. The only reason that you should look back at things is as soon as they happen because it would mean that you would have been able to learn a valuable lesson from them. Once things had happened then you should move on because at the end of the day you have no way of being able to go back to the past and change things so there isn't all that much point in being worried about the things that you can do nothing about. You would be much better looking to the future and seeing what you can do about that.

Funny how i stumbled upon this topic, just an hour ago i am kind of thinking over my life and the events in it that is making me a little sad. And then i asked myself, why is it that my life is going in circles and i can't seem to move on forward? What is it that is holding me back preventing me to go on with my life? Most of my friends are having a great life but somehow i seem to struggle everyday and it is so hard? What is it that i am doing wrong? I know i am not perfect, i can sometime be such a bad A#s and yet there are those people a lot worse than me. I try not to hurt anybody and yet i suffer? I am sorry i seem to offer more questions that answers.

Hi Vi! I pray! Yes, prayers keeps me going. Prayers helps me a lot to move forward specially when I am very down. We need to keep on moving forward or else nothing will happen in our life, like what you have said if we don't move forward we will be left behind and we don't like that to happen. We can dwell in the past so the best thing that we can do is to stand up again, learn from the past, live for today and look forward and work for a better future...

I agree with what you said Annavi23, life goes on and there is no use to look back and living in the past. It is not easy to move on but nothing is impossible if we are willing to leave the past behind and move for a better future. There is no use to regret because it wont change anything, all we can do is to make review of the past and learning from the mistakes we have made so we can have a better future. However Im a bit different when it is about mylot participation, there are several discussions that I still participate and enjoy although it wont increase the rating or the number beside my name. As long as there is something to talk about and members to discuss with, I wont mind to keep coming back to the discussion, we still get earning from that activity, we can have some fun by discuss more and more or having conversation with other members within a box. I dont think that the little number beside my username means Im being left behind. It is just number anyway but it dont really show my real activity or participation on mylot.

Moving on is really a heavy thing to do considering that as humans, we are really prone to emotional stress and pains. But as what my friend quoted, "pains that doesn't kill us will make us stronger". From that statement alone, we should not give up on many struggles but rather be hopeful for the things that will still come.

It is true. No matter what situation in life is going on at the time, it is Best to keep moving forward and never look back. It is hard sometimes as there are things we really do need to deal with, but many times looking back often stops us from progressing where we really need to be.

Anna, indeed it is not easy to do it. Rather it is always easier to say. Although i always reminded myself as to keep moving on, nor matter what i had experienced or came across. When time comes i felt it is hard to left behind some of the things and matters which makes me keep on pondering. But, i am happy so far i managed to find time to arrange and keep moving on with my life. I always make sure that my family is always keep moving on as well. I always give them good support whenever they need help. After all, this life is wonderful only when we are able to manage and live well with it.

Moving on has always been my mantra. but it is heartbreaking to think of the people you left behind. :( I go on with life, learn new things, meet new people, make mistakes, succeed.. whatever is the new chapter in my life, I try not to think too much about the people that I have left behind. I do not dwell too much on the people who were not there to witness the new chapters. It just hurts so much. :( I agree, it's easier said than done.

I try not to dwell to much with what happened yesterday because they are already part of the history and already part of our experience. I always take one day at a time and do the most out of it. It is hard at first especially if what you leave behind also leave a spot in your heart filled with anger and pain. This will not happen over night but the good news is you can always overcome it. Moving forward just means we let go of the past and face another bright day and get ready with the future.

Me, i believe that we always have to make the most of life always, and that we should always live life as if it will be your last day on earth. That's because we don't really know , when God will finally claim our borrowed lives from him. It's indeed hard sometimes to keep going forward specially when there are still people who would like to pull you down . However, let's just put in mind that they don't have the right to do that, so just try to keep going and enjoy life even when there are problems on the side.

Well, it's definitely because of my children, I have two girls. When I think about them, I feel I can go through anything, any difficulities, any obstacles, anything. I know keep going and don't look back is easy to say but hard to do, but I always try my best. Good luck.

yes , we face many such things in life, the one whom we love most may not like our company , we get hurt and so on , life is like that.
