Moving Up Or Moving On

There's a big difference between the two.

Moving Up Or Moving On
Personal Picture

Life gets difficult at times. We all know that. What we don't know is how we react to the difficult times help to shape who we are as people. We have to decide in that moment what kind of person we want to become. You can choose to move up or move on. Each option has its' own benefits, but one is better than the other.

After a breakup, why would you choose to just move on. It's like saying I want to move on to the next relationship, the next breakup, the next problem. Your day is filled with hatred for your job, situation, or life. You feel stuck in something that you didn't plan for or never wanted. You want to improve, but you're unsure of where to start. You don't want to continue down that same path. Why? We as people, with emotions and ideas are afraid to let go and move on. We fear the unknown and unexpected. That's okay. There's nothing wrong with being worried about things we can't control. But that's just it. We can control who we are as people. You have the choice to become better. You have the choice to be whoever you want to be and do whatever you want to do. We can become more than our parents, more than our peers, and more than ourselves. It just takes hard work and dedication to what you want. Choose to move up. Improve yourself and what you want out of your life. Life is a beautiful thing so why not live it to the fullest. Don't go backwards. Move up and keep striving for perfection or happiness. Do what will give you joy in your life. It's as easy as that.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
