Manly Quotes About Moving On

---

You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, or even months over-analyzing a situation; trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could’ve, would’ve happened… or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move on.

Life moves on and so should we

The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward.

A very wise man once told me that you can’t look back – you just have to put the past behind you, and find something better in your future.

You will evolve past certain people. Let yourself.

My heart might be bruised, but it will recover and become capable of seeing the beauty of life once more. It’s happened before, it will happen again, I’m sure. When someone leaves, it’s because someone else is about to arrive – I’ll find love again.

Accept yourself, love yourself, and keep moving forward. If you want to fly, you have to give up what weighs you down.

That’s all you can do in this world, no matter how strong the current beats against you, or how heavy your burden, or how tragic your love story. You keep going.

Keeping baggage from the past will leave no room for happiness in the future.

Letting go doesn’t mean that you don’t care about someone anymore. It’s just realizing that the only person you really have control over is yourself.

Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?

Sometimes it takes a heartbreak to shake us awake and help us see we are worth so much more than we’re settling for.

You can’t look back – you just have to put the past behind you, and find something better in your future.

God sometimes removes a person from your life for your protection. Don’t run after them.

Cry. Forgive. Learn. Move on. Let your tears water the seeds of your future happiness.

Some people believe holding on and hanging in there are signs of great strength. However, there are times when it takes much more strength to know when to let go and then do it.

If you want to forget something or someone, never hate it, or never hate him/her. Everything and everyone that you hate is engraved upon your heart; if you want to let go of something, if you want to forget, you cannot hate.

The only thing a person can ever really do is keep moving forward. Take that big leap forward without hesitation, without once looking back. Simply forget the past and forge toward the future.

Letting go means to come to the realization that some people are a part of your history, but not a part of your destiny.

A Real Man Quotes And Sayings About Moving On

---

You must make a decision that you are going to move on. It won’t happen automatically. You will have to rise up and say, ‘I don’t care how hard this is, I don’t care how disappointed I am, I’m not going to let this get the best of me. I’m moving on with my life.

I had to cease to mourn what could never be and make the most of what was possible. And I would begin doing that by trying to mend the hurts of the past.

You will find that it is necessary to let things go; simply for the reason that they are heavy. So let them go, let go of them. I tie no weights to my ankles.

Once you realize you deserve a bright future, letting go of your dark past is the best choice you will ever make.

If I kept saying it; if I kept reaching out. My accident really taught me just one thing: the only way to go on is to go on. To say ‘I can do this’ even when you know you can’t.

Even seasonal situations can bring with them lessons that last a lifetime. If the love doesn’t last, it prepares you for the one that will.

There ain’t no way you can hold onto something that wants to go, you understand? You can only love what you got while you got it.

It was strange, really. A couple months ago, I had thought I couldn’t live without him. Apparently, I could.

It is important that we forgive ourselves for making mistakes. We need to learn from our errors and move on.

I have learned that if you must leave a place that you have lived in and loved and where all your yesteryears are buried deep, leave it any way except a slow way, leave it the fastest way you can. Never turn back and never believe that an hour you remember is a better hour because it is dead. Passed years seem safe ones, vanquished ones, while the future lives in a cloud, formidable from a distance.

If you didn’t love him, this never would have happened. But you did. And accepting that love and everything that followed it is part of letting it go.

It is always important to know when something has reached its end. Closing circles, shutting doors, finishing chapters, it doesn’t matter what we call it; what matters is to leave in the past those moments in life that are over.

Be Brave and Take Risks: You need to have faith in yourself. Be brave and take risks. You don’t have to have it all figured out to move forward.

Lots of things can be fixed. Things can be fixed. But many times, relationships between people cannot be fixed because they should not be fixed. You’re aboard a ship setting sail, and the other person has joined the inland circus or is boarding a different ship, and you just can’t be with each other anymore. Because you shouldn’t be.

Change has to come for life to struggle forward.

If I look back I am lost.

God sometimes removes a person from your life for your protection. Don’t run after them.

Some birds are not meant to be caged, that’s all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much drabber and empty for their departure.

When the going gets tough, put one foot in front of the other and just keep going. Don’t give up.

There is love in holding and there is love in letting go.

To wander is to be alive.

Grudges are for those who insist that they are owed something; forgiveness, however, is for those who are substantial enough to move on.

The only real battle in life is between hanging on and letting go.

Holding onto something that is good for you now, may be the very reason why you don’t have something better.

I demolish my bridges behind me… then there is no choice but to move forward

A competitive and insecure woman will tell you that true love

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t letting go but rather learning to start over.

Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can’t build on it; it’s only good for wallowing in.

The most difficult aspect of moving on is accepting that the other person already did.

I will continue my path, but I will keep a memory always.

It’s amazing, really, how in one instant a wall can be torn down or climbed over. Misconceptions can be shattered, illusions dashed, dreams irrevocably ruined. Given the right frame of mind, within a heartbeat, people can begin the business of starting over.

I must give you this warning: your journeys will rarely ever go as you plan. You will make mistakes, and you will feel lost. Whenever that happens, look to the light and keep moving forward in faith.

Your heart’s strength is measured by how hard it holds on. Your self-worth and faith is measured by finally letting go. However, your peace is measured by how long you don’t look back.

If it doesn’t agree with your spirit let it go.

Because you simply cannot draw these things out forever. At some point, you just pull off the Band-Aid and it hurts, but then it’s over and you’re relieved.

Last night I lost the world, and gained the universe.

Memory looks back in order to move forward.

Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.

If you truly want to be respected by people you love, you must prove to them that you can survive without them.

To everyone battling a difficulty or under attack right now, smile, keep your head up, keep moving and stay positive, you’ll get through it.

The answer to every adversity lies in courageously moving forward with faith.

Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don’t.
