know when to say 'STOP'

Had a great time chatting with Ryan on Facebook last week and I can’t forget one advise that he told me:

 One should learn to put a limit on ‘moving on’; Set a date and know when to say ‘Stop’.

It instantly hit me. It helped me better consider my personal emotion and to love myself even more. It helped me better understand my current state and that I have to be ‘in the situation’ and be realistic. I realized, afterall, optimism should start within me.

Thanks Ryan, I’ll make sure I’ll make time for a cup of coffee when we’re both in Manila.
