Thoughts...

        In life there are disappointments, failures, heartaches and sadness that we will go through. In fact, I think these are things that we must go through in order for us to be more matured and wise. At times, it is not easy to let it go and move on from these failures, pain and heartaches. It's easy for us to advise someone on letting it go and moving on with their lives, but the person who is going through it knows how difficult it is. He or she may spend nights crying and thinking about the past pain and failures. 
       However, we must keep reminding ourselves that no matter what happens, life goes on and thus we must take the necessary steps to make life more worth it. We must stop looking at the past and start looking forward. According to Paulo Coelho, "Before a new chapter is begun, the old one has to be finished; tell yourself that what has passed will never come back. Remember that there was a time when you could live without that thing or that person - nothing is irreplaceable, a habit is not a need." In order for you to let go of the pain, failures and heartaches, you must control your mind. It is crucial that you continuously have positive thoughts and at times like this, it is best to mix with positive people. As for me, I find solace in God that is spending time reading the Bible. Personally, it helps a lot to have a positive mind and to keep my thoughts under control.
      For example, one of my personal favourite is Isaiah 43:18 - 19 which says, "Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert." This promise of God reminds me that it is important for us to forget what has happened and to continue to have hope in Him as He has promised to make the impossible, possible. It is an inspirational word of God to keep me moving forward.
      Another word which I find comfort in is Romans 8: 28 which says, "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." We love God and I am very sure all of us are created for a purpose and thus, we need not fear about the failures and heartaches we face.
       There are many other quotes which I personally like and I hope these quotes might help you:

1. When one door closes, another opens; we often look so regrefully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us. (~Alexander Graham Bell~)

2. If someone wants to leave you, let them leave. You are better off without such people in your life. (~Unknown~)

3. Letting go of someone dear to you is hard, but holding on to someone who doesn't even feel the same is much harder. Giving up doesn't mean that you are weak, it only means that you are strong enough to let go! (~Unknown~)
