Have you ever had to start over before? Maybe you had to start over in life, in love or in business. Sometimes starting over can feel a bit overwhelming, a little frustrating and sometimes very sad to be in “that” place once again. I started over in my twenty’s, thirty’s and then I started over in my forty’s. After the last “start over” I decided to perceive the entire situation differently than I ever had before. I used to think, “Please…I have to go through this again!? What lesson haven’t I learned? Why am I back at this place for the third or fourth time? What am I not getting for crying out loud! Life cannot be this difficult to figure out.”

Today I say, “WHATEVER! There must be a reason for it so here I grow again! God has a plan for me and I know his plan isn’t to torment me, make me suffer or to throw crap at me just to watch me squirm. The God I know is all loving, has no ornery human like qualities so…all this must be good! There must be a plan, must be a reason for the challenges and the obstacles coming my way.” Since everything that happens to us is for our own good and caused by us and our thoughts, beliefs, perceptions and so forth…it has to be another growing period that is required at this time in our lives! Nothing else makes sense, hmmmm.

So now I say to the world, “Okay lets rumble! Lets dance the dance of life.” Material things are just that, material and only things. I have released so much over the years so what’s one more bauble to be released and one more nice car to sell or trade in? Nothing, nothing at all! The question I ask myself now when I am in yet another “start over” phase is, what am I learning? Am I a better person today than I was yesterday? Am I wiser, am I serving others to the best of my ability? Have I let go of those old insecurities about, love, money, rules, and about being the most popular person on earth? The desire to seek approval is nearing an end for me. I’m at a place now where I honestly think it would be so cool if you liked me and then again, if you don’t…that’s cool too!

If you’re starting over, relax and go with the flow. Sometimes you have to let go of what you’ve got in order to receive even more and even better! You’re on your divine path so what could possibly be wrong?
