A young Greek artist painted a masterpiece. Day after day he continued to admire it. Then came the shocker. His teacher wiped the entire painting out. Why? To challenge his student to do better. The young man would go on to produce "one of the finest paintings of antiquity" called: Sacrifice of Iphigenia (clickable picture above left). (Story from higherpraise.com)Starting over. Sometimes the tutor called Life comes along and wipes everything out. If that's where you find yourself today, I've come up with the following points as a help...
3 Things to Remember About Starting Over:
1. You have been here before. Remember when you were a freshman in high school? You couldn't wait 'til you were a sophomore. Right? No more freshman thing for you. Uh uh. But then came college. Bottom line: You handled it.
2. You are in a better position. You've gained a ton of skill since your last starting point. You're ahead of the game by leaps and bounds. You're an asset. Be confident.
3. You can top what you've previously done. Just like it was for the young Greek artist, the best is yet to come. Keep at it. Be amazing.

I couldn't agree more. I started over when I became a chef. It's a long road when you start over, but sometimes it's the absolute best thing to happen to you.

Years ago we had lost almost everything to Hurricane Andrew. My sister sent us a card that said "My barn having burned to the ground, I can see the stars." I held on to that card for years and still quote it to myself when I'm struggling to see the possibilities that arise out of a failure. They are always there. New beginnings are powerful opportunities.
This was great to read and starting over doesnt sound so bad after all
