20 QUOTES ON STARTING OVER


‘The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul and a new nose; new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes. Unless a particular man made New Year resolutions, he would make no resolutions. Unless a man starts afresh about things, he will certainly do nothing effective.’- G.K. Chesterton

‘So what do we do? Anything. Something. So long as we just don’t sit there. If we screw it up, start over. Try something else. If we wait until we’ve satisfied all the uncertainties, it may be too late.’- Lee Lacocca

‘There is something beautiful about a blank canvas, the nothingness of the beginning that is so simple and breathtakingly pure. It’s the point that changes its meaning and the hand that creates the story. Every piece begins the same, but in the end they are all uniquely different.’- Piper Payne

‘The death of a dream can in fact serve as the vehicle that endows it with new form, with reinvigorated substance, a fresh flow of ideas, and splendidly revitalized color. In short, the power of a certain kind of dream is such that death need not indicate finality at all but rather signify a metaphysical and metaphorical leap forward.’- Aberjhani (The River of Winged Dreams)

‘Think of a new day and think of a new purpose. Think of a new reason out of the reasons of yesterday. Think of the distinctive step that is worth taking to continue the footprints of yesterday. Each day comes with its own ideas. Each day comes with its own possibles and impossibles. What makes each day good or bad is not just our thoughts but, the steps we take which is influenced by our thoughts to obtain what is good or bad.

Think of a new day; think of a distinctive footprint.’- Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

‘Don’t bore the universe.’- Anas Khan

‘You move forward because you have to. Life doesn’t stand still. It makes you move on until you want to move on, you know? It’ll run you over if you don’t move.’- Darian Wilk

‘Sometimes you’re left with only 1 choice: Take what’s yours and run for your life.’- Jennifer Elisabeth

‘The key to a better life isn’t always a change of scenery. Sometimes it simply requires opening your eyes.’- Richelle E. Goodrich

‘Birthing is never easy or without pain, be it a universe, a child, or a fresh start in life. Contraction precedes expansion. Darkness comes before dawn. Joy follows pain. This is the way of things.’- John Mark Green

‘And I went into the new year. Loving myself a little less, but a little more where it actually mattered.’ –Dominic Riccitello

‘At the end of the day, your life is just a story. If you don’t like the direction its going, change it. Rewrite it. When you rewrite a sentence, you erase it and start over until you get it right. Yes, it’sa little more complicated with a life, but the principle is the same. And remember, don’t let anyone ever tell you that your revisions are not the truth.’- Tyler Jones

‘If God closes a door AND a window, consider the fact that it might be time to build a whole new house.’- Mandy Hale

‘All great beginnings start in the dark, when the moon greets you to a new day at midnight.’- Shannon L. Alder

‘It’s painful and messy. But sometimes you just have to make the break and start again.’- Tony Parsons

‘It was broken. It was haunted. Just like her. But it had bones, and it had memories, and it had the ability to be something strong again. Just like her.’- Lauren Gilley

‘Tomorrow when I awaken, the slate will be clean, and a new day will stretch before me. God’s mercies are new every morning.’- Lori Hatcher

‘Everyday begins like a blank chalkboard, on which each one of us can write the poem of our present and our dreams for the future.’- Ricky Martin

‘Year’s end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.’- Hal Borland

‘Keep on beginning and failing. Each time you fail, start all over again, and you will grow stronger until you have accomplished a purpose- not the one you began with perhaps, but one you’ll be glad to remember.’- Anne Sullivan

#POETRY# MOMENTS

So, it’s another Monday. Today’s poem is on moments, appreciating them and taking second looks at the seemingly mundane. Enjoy! MOMENTS You never know, you just never know There he was last night, holding your hands, Looking into your eyes with passion beyond expression, And then; here he was this morning, telling a sad tale of never! Who knew love could become so tasteless overnight? It had seemed over in less than a flash; So much for the deep love you shared. Where it all ends, you just never know! Memories of baby’s not so far away childhood, Flickered before her eyes like a dimly lit flame Was it not just last summer she had started crawling? And in what appeared to be less than 24hours, She had walked, jumped and taken sandwiches to school And now, she fit smugly into a graduation gown, cape and all, Her baby was now a grown woman And those memories were all she had left! He stroked her tapered fingers lovingly as he wept by her beds...

LIKE FAITH AND LOVE

Gal 5:6 - For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love. The heart and the lungs are like faith and love, their functions intertwined, their locations proximate, the feelings that they generate just as conclusive. They produce hope for the survival of the physical body, just like faith and love produce hope for the spiritual body’s survival. Experiences of today made me realize something: we need faith intertwined with love to breathe as spirit beings, as much as we need the functional capacity of our cardio-respiratory apparatuses to breathe the breath of life. It’s that important…faith and love I mean.
