Transitional Friday: 7 Lessons from Starting Over

 

I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve had to start over.   The reasons for this are varied, but include moving, divorce, starting a new job, returning to college, etc.

With the new year here, we are all making new resolutions.   Often this includes losing weight.  Yet, two weeks later we’ve given up.   New resolutions are all part of starting over and learning new ways and techniques to improve ourselves.

Starting over can be exciting when thinking about the new possibilities.  Each change brings new hopes and dreams. 

1. Adjustment takes time
2. Embrace the experience
3. Be thankful for the opportunity
4. Look forward—what hopes and dreams does this experience open up
5. Remember God has you here for a reason
6. What lessons can you learn from this experience
7. This is a new beginning
