Just startThe most difficult thing about starting afresh is starting afresh. So many times, challenges that come around are curve-balls, they come right back! Want to start a new business? Or a new relationship?
The future is ahead not behind
Quit looking over your shoulder, take that step and never forget what is most important, learn something.
I started
Recently, I took up a writing job. I did it for the street credibility, I always wanted to be a respected writer. Who can blame me, people are good in different things, I am good at writing. It seemed like a great opportunity, but it turned out to be more difficult and time consuming than I expected.
It's been a few months down the line and I must say, the experience has been good. Still time consuming and brain wracking (who would have thought?) but fulfilling.
I have researched on various fields and subjects and I have learned a great deal. I feel like a citizen of the world. I see world issues from the eyes of the world. I am more rounded.
Few tips to starting afresh...
Desire more: Feeling discontent could be a pointer to the fact that you want something new and different. In some cases, it seems like an impossible feat but if you put your mind to it, you discover that it comes easy.
Try to correct the wrongs of the past: You can only try. Sometimes we find that the grass has turned brown because we failed to water it. Water your grass, that may be all you need to see the change you desire.
Just do it: Small sure steps are the way in some cases buy brash giant strides may be your own way. Make changes, small or big and decide to stick with the consequences.
An African Proverb says, "the best time to plant that palm tree was twenty years ago, the next best time is now."
Every new day is an opportunity to make your life count, Start today. You just might find that there is more to you and your abilities than you imagined.
