It's never easy, facing the reality of your life and knowing that something has to change and it has to change now.
~
Sometimes, the best decision you will ever make is to leave your pride and past expectations at the door and be brave enough to start over.
~
It might be a bitter pill to swallow, it might break your heart in two but sometimes starting over and moving in a new direction is the best move you will ever make.
~
I've started over many times in my life. I've had to re - build myself, my career and my life more times than I care to share. I've had to leave behind the things which once mattered to me, to pursue the things that truly matter to me and I assure you it's not always easy or particularly inspiring.
~
In fact, it's usually quite the opposite, until you finally let go of what could have been and turn your attention to what can be.
~
Starting over can seem scary. But one thing I can share with you is that there is always something better and more beautiful and wondrous up ahead.
~
You won't always know it at the time and you won't always believe that things will be better, especially when you're going through a rough patch. But if you give yourself a little time you'll eventually see that everything works out in the end.
~
I'm grateful for the times I messed up, I failed and couldn't quite find my feet, because it's those moments that force you to look elsewhere and look within and consider a different path.
~
Starting over is never easy, but often it's necessary and it's often the best move you'll ever make because it's the universes way of forcing you to move forward and let go of what once was.
~
There is no shame in starting over, in fact most of the people you admire have had to start over many times. They don't let pride get in the way of what they want and they accept the odds of success, which means many failures to one victory.
~
It might be time to start over, it might be time to move in a new direction and it might be time to re - build your life. Only you know your truth, be honest and don't let other people's expectations determine your expectations of life.
~
If it's time to move on, you'll already know that time has come.
