Sometimes we find ourselves starting over due to circumstances beyond our control. Most of the time, however, we are turning a page in life because it is time to move forward.
Coach Nikki Jourdan
Life has a way of letting you, me and everyone else know when it is time to leave or shift position. Oh, the signs are there! Change is vital in life for proper growth and development.
Take a look at your life to see if you have withered or become withdrawn or even indifferent.
Pain leaves a mark, and can be erased over time. By this I mean you and I are able to overcome the root cause of the pain and no longer allow it to hinder life, love or liberty. God sees and knows everything about you and me. We learn as we encounter things in life. We trust God.
It is much like going along in life and hitting a huge bump in the road. Once your head hits the roof of the car and you gain control again; you are so thankful! What pain? You continue driving! Later you share the story of how grateful you are for not landing in a ditch or wreaking the car or hitting someone…and never even mention the pain of hitting your head, (smile).
6 Tips for starting over:
1. Take time to plan your life or else you will float through it.
2. Think about what makes you happy and pick up the fragments of your dream once again.
3. Begin to take good care of you and carefully choose your daily routine.
4. Stop complaining and blaming others.
5. View new beginnings as a way of rediscovering who, what, when, when, how and why you do what you do.
6. Be true to you and peel away anything false or out of order in your life: Look at it for what it really is and make a decision based on understanding – knowing what you want.
Hope this helps you get started.
P. S. Here is a test to see if you are stagnant or growing; do not cheat!
Look in the mirror, what do you see? Is your life green and fertile because you are rich with family and friends who love you?
Is your life gray because you have become so critical or over-bearing?
Is your life red because you have chased others away from you with anger and pride?
Hey, go ahead and cry. Tears have purpose. Let it all out. You are alive! Right now design a new life (with God). Ask him to help and remember you are never alone.
Talk again soon, Much love,
Nikki Jourdan
