Starting Afresh in Life..

Let me just start with some questions. How often have you felt the urge of starting everything from the scratch? How often do you feel like giving up what you really are just being in peace somewhere very very far away? Thought for today is, Starting Afresh. Most of us have changes (good and bad) in our life and often we feel like starting everything again, from the beginning. Seldom do we succeed. More often, we end up feeling the same way. Reason is simple, feelings and memories are two things which cannot be expunged. Somewhere somehow they come back. Then how to make a fresh start in life? What exactly do we need to change?


It's our inner self. For a fresh start at any point in your life, you need to walk through yourself first and figure out what have you been doing till now and why you need a fresh start. There are times when we feel sad, depressed, and broken. Then, all we need to do is to just take time and think about ourselves for a while. Taking a fresh start is something different. A fresh start in life is to reborn. It nowhere relates to correcting your mistakes in future and being a perfectionist. This is where most of us are wrong. You don't have to plan how your new start will be! Just be ready to give a full stop to your present. It's like entering into a new world of our own. You just have to take a step ahead and just let yourself go. Dive in!

If you have already given a shot and it backfired, you just need to go back and think it all over again. Where did it all go wrong? What was that which prohibited you from making a new self? Just try and find out the answer in yourself. Try listing down some facts. Making a list always helps! You cannot get a fresh start maybe because, "you're just bringing your old self into what you think is going to be new", as quoted by Dr. Dickstein. Correct, isn't he? In an interesting conversation, I heard that you can't get a new start because you imagine a new perception of yourself on the basis of past experiences. This is where you make a mistake! You already gave your new start a past theme. Starting afresh means just starting everything all over again, it never means correcting your mistakes.


What I am trying to say here is, starting everything all over again is not just a feeling or a possession. It's about getting a new you. It's about having a new relationship with life. So you've got this flowering taking place in you, and this flowering is newness itself. In a nutshell, to make a new start, forget your past completely and take a new birth. Never let those memories haunt you. And if they do, override them with new ones! Life's too short. Don't waste time in regretting and being in the past.


I write this to tell my inner self that sometimes life just haults for a while, that's the time you need to get a new life, a new start! Just let yourself go. Find a new you. Coz it's never too late to start again.

Lose everything that hold's you back in your old life. Just Empezar todo de nuevo, start everything afresh

Very nicely written! On this note, here's this, Never with the fear of striking out, keep you from playing the game.

Live life, and then judge it!
(Maybe then there won't be any need to start afresh only, all you might need is to keep moving forward.)

Thanks serenity11.

I partially agree with you. But judging is inevitable!
