The Recipe for Starting Over
What does it take to get going again? When you realize that you have fallen off? And you know what? You would really like to get going again. We have to remember that starting over is a privilege and a gift. The only reason we can start over is because we have the grace to start over. So stop saying that you have to start over. Instead, say that you ‘get’ to start over. You ‘get’ to begin again. You ‘get’ to start a new chapter. And become aware of the gift that is in your lap. That you have a future to look forward to, that you have a new day to improve your health, or to apologize, or to get that project going again. No day is promised to us, and we ‘get’ to start again.
