Life is filled with ups and downs. What matters is how you deal with each situation. Here’s how you can start a new life. Let’s start!

Learn From Others

It is amazing to find people that have gone through the same difficulties as you have. They know the hardships. They can help you better. When you learn from others, you can learn new ways of thinking. If people can deal with their difficulties successfully, they can help you out truly.

Try Everything  

Sometimes we might feel that we have tried out so much but still nothing is working out for us. Moving on with the pain (痛苦) is hard but worth it. In this kind of situation, the only solution is to think outside the box. Try solutions that you never ever dreamed of. Who knows? They might actually make things better for you.

Let Go Of Your Past

In order to move on, you must let go of the past. No matter what, terrible feelings are always going to lead to an opposite result. They are only going to make you very tired in the long run. You have to stay away from them. Forgive the people that have hurt you in the past. Walk to the future. 

Do What Actually Works

Most people get busy doing the things that don’t get them anywhere. For example, many people turn to alcohol (酒). DON’T. Don’t follow the wrong path and destroy what is good for you. Think about your goals and take action. Let nothing stand in your way.
