How many times will I be doing this? Why can't I seem to get it together? What's wrong with me? Am I going to be known as the queen/king of do overs? This along with many other questions have come up more than once in my life as well as many others. Starting again can seem daunting or refreshing depending on how you look at it. Every morning we are all starting again. We are all giving new mercies and grace daily. How you choose to use it is something all together different.
Why, at some point in our lives, must we start again? I feel it's a necessity to start again because we all go through changes. Sometimes you have to step back to move forward. Take for instance starting a lawn mower, the push kind. You pull the string over and over again until it starts, right? It won't start unless you give it some slack by allowing the cord to recoil. Or think about a sprinter, they place their feet on the mark that's set behind them using it to catapult them forward. It's all in how you use your start. Life is not a walk in the park on a sweet sunny day. It has its twists and turns along with its ups and downs and yes it's occasional do overs.
Beginning again is often necessary to get you to the next chapter in your life. We all have goals in life, and in working those goals, at times, you have to reevaluate your position. As you are learning on your journey you have to be flexible enough for a do over to gain the knowledge, momentum, or passion you initially began with. Fighting it would only lead to self destruction.
I'm personally in the process of my beginning again. I'm beginning again first, with my thought process. Letting go of any and every thing that does not line up with God's word and will for my life. In doing this it has caused me to begin again with how I relate to others from family to friends to business. As I continue to embrace the knowledge of self, I am starting again with a fiery passion for my destiny, one that I have never felt before. It's allowed me to live in the moment as I continue on my journey.
Don't get it twisted, it's not easy by any stretch of the imagination. Starting this blog back in April was something totally out of character, allowing others into my life and sharing how I feel about different situations is something I never thought I would do; however, look at me now. I do it with no regrets nor fear. It is, at times, liberating to share with you life through my eyes. Now that's what you call following your destiny.
So don't be afraid to begin again. It's an essential part of living your life to the fullest!! Don't let anyone tell you that you are okay where you are if you feel the fire burning within telling you it's time for a do over to do better! The scariest step is the first step; however, you've taken it before. Now it's with a renewed spirit and tenacity!
Beginning Again can be you finally Beginning Anew to a Better You!
Blessings!
