How many times do we have to begin again? …Any time we want or need to begin again.
Nothing wrong with beginning again. Take the eraser to the board, wipe everything out and start over! Maybe you’ve gotten a fresh perspective on something. Maybe you’re tired of the old. It’s no longer working. Maybe you want to shake things up a bit. Sounds like time to begin again!
‘But I thought it was perfect. I wanted it to be just right so I’d never have to start over. I feel like a failure’, you may say.
Recognize perfection is an ideal – not reality. Things can always be improved and worked on. It isn’t failure if your plans didn’t ‘go as planned’. It is a stepping stone to another approach, another idea.
Remember the saying, “Ford has a better idea!” At the time all their cars were only black. They said you could have your car in any color as long as it was black! Then other colors came on the scene; they began again, and the rest is history.
It does not hurt to begin again. Where would you like to begin again?
