Moving on is often a difficult task. Whether you are moving past a broken relationship, making a career change, or just becoming more of who you are meant to be, it is challenging. There are so many roadblocks you seem to come up against, so many walls that you hit, and massive mountains that you must climb, but you are capable.

With determination, confidence, and persistence, you will survive. There are times when these things will seem to falter and you will feel like you are unable to succeed or make it to the next point.
