It’s hard to make Decisions if you are still Emotionally in Pain
Be patient with yourself. Don’t force your mind to forget the things that are meant to be processed. Yes, you must not hold on to your negative emotions, but you need to acknowledge them. Respect what you feel, for they will help you realize the things that you need to change. Don’t command your brain to easily throw everything and move forward. Please don’t pressure yourself to make hard decisions, especially when your heart is still bleeding. It’s not easy to make the right choices if your wounded soul is still in the healing process. Take one step at a time and be more conscious of the things that you…

Acknowledge your weakness, and there, you will discover your strength.
In times of failure, we find ourselves sinking into our own grief. We review and remember ourselves as nothing but a bunch of failures and aches. Our weakness then slowly surfaced and became our image. Little do we know that it becomes how we value ourselves as we acknowledge it so. In moments when everything, we have planned for turns into something we feared most, the very thing we do is to turn away and have the will to move on — or so we think so. Moving on is a symbol of strength, but please don’t forget, along with it is your acknowledgment of your own weakness and that…
