If I could start all over again, I’d only focus on my body being strong.
The hell with the numbers.
If I could start all over again, I’d go into meetings with confidence.
I have a right to be here.
If I could start all over again, I’d make more time for reading. For crafting. For being in bed.
If I could start all over again, I’d drink half my weight in ice-cold water each day.
I’d call my mom.
I’d sing as loud and as clear as my lungs would allow.
If I could start all over again, I’d tell myself to relax.
I am not responsible for the happiness of others.
If I could start all over again. . .
(She stops, and shakes her head. She smiles.)
Oh wait.
I can.

How will you start over, Dear Reader?
Go ahead! Leave a comment. Let’s get some discussion going up in here!

“If i could start over … i will LOVE MYSELF MORE”

To quote Kalidasa:
For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision;
And today well-lived, makes
Yesterday a dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well therefore to this day;
Such is the salutation to the ever-new dawn!
How lovely, my friend. π
If I could start over, itβd only be to appreciate my experiences and their lessons again- not to change a thing.
Well said! Itβs an important reminder. π
I start over every day, every minute, sometimes every second….
Yep! Itβs all we can do. π
If I could start over I’d leave my frustrating job the day i felt it’s not worth it.
Iβve been there, friend! π
π€π€
Iβve had more restarts and false starts than I care to remember. My last one was this morning. My next one is tomorrow.
And the cycle continues…βΊοΈ
It does … keep it moving … π
If I could start over again….I’d do it just the same. Everyday is a blessing, a chance.
ππ»ππΏ
good inspiring reminder!
Thank you, friend! π
It is a pleasure π
I agree
Well said! As my hero Winnie the Pooh once said: ‘I very often get to where I’m going by walking away from where I’ve been’.
Yes! I love it. π
If I started over, I’d have to hunt down that guy that helped me make that beautiful daughter of mine. She’s thirty-one today and has been a blast since the day I met her!
π
I absolutely love this! If I could start over… I will call my momma and spend more time talking baby talk with my baby β€οΈ
Thanks, friend! π
….By thanking you for dropping by @coffeecassio!
π
Love this!
Thanks so much! π
Having lived this long, I don’t think I would want to start all over again and go through a different set of pains and struggles. Instead, this is a good reminder to stop anything that would make you wish you could start over and start now where you are to do what you wish you could have done, adapting to current circumstances.
Well said! π
I love this!! If i could start again i’d take more pictures; document it all with words and optics and audio.
If I could start all over again, I would acknowledge that broken trust is not a reason to stop trusting in myself.
(P.S. You are stunningly beautiful!)
Wow! Thank you so much, friend. π
Beautiful….thank you this made my day
Thank you so much, friend. Iβm so glad. π
There’s always a fresh start for each one of us as each day unfolds. Lool.
And this means,If I could start over,it would mean accepting people for who they are and stop expecting perfectionists around me.kk
I love that! Thanks for this reminder, friend. π
Take a deep breathe, and then a step. Repeat.
Yep! Sometimes it’s as simple as that. π
I’d call my mom too xoxo
π
If I could start all over I would be present more. Sometimes I don’t go because I am too anxious, so if I could start all over I would beat anxiety’s tush!
I love it! ππ»
when i think about starting again I imagine a small, pretty, empty cottage in the woods. It has beautiful wooden floors and light pouring in the windows and I think about what stuff I would bring to the house and what stuff to leave behind. It always cheers me up!
Yes! I absolutely love this idea. So fresh. π
I love this!
I think I would do all that you say. And I will.
Thanks, Betul! Be well, my friend. π
You too!
I would get up each morning and listen to nature before I did anything else. Great post and thank you.
Thanks so much, friend. And I love that idea! Nature can be so healing. π
If I could start over, I’d be more patient with those I care for and worry for. Often times they’re trying much harder than you know.
So true! Thanks for your comment, friend. π
