"Moving on is a mindset, not an event"
How I did it: I now firmly believe that you only move on by changing your outlook, instead of finding tangible closure of some sort. If you try, you're always going to be able to find stuff to dwell on and feel bad about, but you can't let that consume you, because it will completely take over your life.
I realized I was tired of playing the victim, and I can achieve the things I want to achieve *right now* by getting out there and trying- I can't blame anything or anyone for my problems, but if I take responsibility and try to change, I'll be rewarded beyond my wildest dreams!
It's a lot harder to carry around feelings of bitterness, anger, and hurt than it is to actually move on. Once you make the decision to actually move on, it's a lot easier than where you came from.
Lessons & tips: Consider, for just one moment, that you have the power to change your emotions, and by changing your emotions, you'll open the door to change your situations. If that's not motivation enough, I'm not sure what would be!
Resources: a little bit of time, and a lot of prayer.
