Have You Ever Had To Start Over?

Marlene

Throughout the last 25 years, I have had the honor and privilege of communicating with people worldwide. Often times they are going through changes in their life, and sometimes they are even starting over... from scratch... with nothing. I know that feeling too.

Yes, it can be very scary when you're unsure how you will pay your bills or find enough money to buy food; it preys on your mind and soul. And yet, most of the people I've talked with know, deep down in their hearts, that things will get better. They're not sure how that will happen, but they have hope and faith that it will.

Strength shows up when you least expect it and will stay with you if you can recognize the power it has to calm you down and help you think clearly.

Someone who is starting over deserves our encouragement. Whether it was their choice or not, they leaped into the unknown and decided to keep moving forward.

So the next time you see someone in a different situation than you, ask yourself this: Could this person be starting over? It may just change how you look at them.
