How to Know it is Time to Move On

We sometimes hold on to relationships that no longer serve us. Knowing when to move on and step into something bigger, that God has planned for you is key to your progress.

If you to start to feel that there is more within

You may be in a relationship and feel like there is something more that you need to achieve. You feel locked down. Deep down within, you know there is something bigger waiting for you.

Your spirit gets restless within you and it seems you are at the end of the road yet, there is the need to climb over the wall.

You feel limited and have more answers

The moment you start to feel that, you have more answers and you are solving more problems than your partner is. A relationship is about two people contributing to make the relationship work but if you find yourself doing most of the contribution and your partner does not seem to be interested, you may need to sit down and figure out if the relationship no longer serves you.

You feel stagnant

“Trees do not hold on to dead leaves, but discard them to create room for new ones.” – Kemi Sogunle

You feel like you are no longer growing. You both have drifted apart. You have tried every thing possible and nothing is working. Remember that everything has a season and a reason. From my quote above, you can see that trees learn to shed dead leaves that can no longer breathe life.

You cannot grow where your roots are no longer being watered or do not produce nutrients that will contribute to your growth or that of the relationship. Every relationship serves a purpose.

Life is all about growing and learning. If you find yourself feeling stagnant in a relationship, it may be time to keep it moving.

People come into our lives for a season and a reason. You cannot force anyone to stay beyond his or her time. Love will not require that you beg anyone to stay because love truly never dies.

Learn to let go of anything that no longer serves or contributes to your growth. A relationship ending is not the end of life but the beginning of a new one with the lessons you have learned from the past. Know when it is time to move on and do not cause yourself to suffer pain/hurt.
