Feeling stuck? Wish you could start over.
This episode is your reset button.
TuneIn to how to restart life and learn the exact steps to
rebuild your world your way. It's not too late, it's your
time. Let's restart together.
A lot of starting fresh, making a shift, a change so fundamental
(00:24):
it. Feels like.
Pressing the reset button on your very existence.
Now I want you to understand this very.
Clearly. Starting a new life isn't about
suddenly running away from the one you're living now.
It's not about throwing everything out and saying I'm
done with all of it. No, it's about taking
deliberate, thoughtful action toreimagine, to rebuild, and to
(00:47):
renew. Here's the first thing to
remember. All things are created twice.
Think about that. Everything you see, everything
around you, was first an idea. Someone dreamed it up, imagined
it, planned it. Before they ever brought it to
life. A skyscraper.
(01:10):
A city. A Business A.
Career. All were created twice, first in
the mind, then in reality, and your life is no different.
If you're ready to start a new life, then you're going to have
to imagine it first to envision every.
Little piece. What does it look like?
(01:33):
How does it feel? What does it mean?
You're going to have to start bygetting.
Clear about that? Vision People come up to me and
say, how do I start turning things around?
They've had enough of the old. Habits, the old.
Routines. The old.
Story they keep. Living out.
Year after year. Now they want something new.
(01:57):
And you know what I tell them? It begins with the decision.
Nothing changes until you. Decide it should.
You have to make a decision so powerful, so committed, that
it's as if you're drawing a linein the sand and saying.
This is it. From this day forward, I'm
creating a new story, a new path.
(02:20):
Starting a new life means you'vegot to shake things up, change
something fundamental. Start with your environment,
your associations, your daily habits.
It's going to take. Courage.
Why? Because most.
People get comfortable. In their routines, even if
(02:43):
they're miserable. Isn't that ironic?
They settle into a rut, just getting by.
Day after day. Doing the same old things.
But comfort, my friends, is the enemy of progress.
If you're comfortable, you're not growing.
And if you're not growing, you're slowly decaying.
(03:07):
Ask yourself, what kind of life do I want to?
Create, don't just. Answer with generalities, Don't
just say I want to be. Happy or I?
Want to be. Successful.
Get specific. Picture the details in your mind
if it's a new career you're after.
What does it look like? What industry?
(03:30):
What kind of people are you working with?
If it's a. Better relationship.
What qualities do you want to Foster and what kind of person
do you want to be within that relationship?
Now here's a critical element. To start a new life, you've got
to be willing to leave the old one behind.
(03:51):
Sounds simple, but it's not. Easy.
Why? Because you've got attachments
and those attachments. Have shaped you.
They've created your habits. Your reactions, your beliefs.
Some people think they want change, but they're still
clinging. To the old.
(04:13):
Because it's familiar familiarity.
Has power you've. Got to get honest with yourself.
About what you're. Still holding on to that doesn't
serve you anymore. Think about the.
People. In your life, there are two
kinds of people, those who will encourage you.
(04:33):
To rise. To your potential and those who
will keep you anchored in your. Old story.
You have to know who you're surrounding yourself with if
you're constantly around people.Who doubt, Who worry?
Who are forever complaining? Chances are you'll find yourself
(04:54):
doing the same, but if you alignyourself with.
Those who have. Vision who are?
Excited about possibilities who are actively.
Growing, then, my friends, that energy is contagious.
It lifts you up. It inspires you and it holds you
to a higher standard. Changing your surroundings
(05:21):
though, is just. Part of the process.
Starting a new life is also about changing the way.
You see yourself, you've got. To have a vision of the person
you're becoming. And I'm telling you.
The way you see yourself dictates how you act.
If you see yourself as someone who's struggling, who's just
(05:43):
trying to get by, then that's. Exactly how you're.
Going to live, but if you can look in the mirror and see
someone who's on the. Rise.
Who's capable? Confident who has?
A purpose. Then every action you take will
reflect that vision. You've got to start speaking the
language of your new life. Words are powerful.
(06:07):
They're seeds if you speak wordsof possibility.
You plant. Seeds of possibility, but if you
speak. The language of limitation.
Of self doubt, of fear, That's what grows.
Be careful of what you say, especially to yourself.
(06:29):
Self talk is a. Big part of transformation.
Some people talk to themselves in ways they wouldn't dream of
talking to someone else. They say things like I can't do
it, I'm not good enough, I'll never make it.
Those words create shackles. The words you speak create the
(06:50):
life you live. Starting a new life means new
habits. Because habits.
Create momentum. Think of a habit.
As a daily vote. For the person you want to
become, one small habit done consistently over time can
transform your. Life.
Most people think that success is about.
(07:12):
Big things, big goals, big dreams, big changes.
But in reality, it's the small daily disciplines that make all
the difference. The man or woman you'll be a
year from now is determined by what you're doing each day.
If you. Want to get in better shape?
You don't need to go from never exercising to running a
(07:34):
marathon. Start with a daily walk or a.
Commitment to eat one healthy meal.
Each day, but do it every day. If you do something small each
day, it compounds, and what's wonderful about that is momentum
begins to. Build.
(07:55):
Soon enough, you'll notice a shift, not just in your body,
but in your confidence, your energy.
Your outlook. That's the magic.
Of habit. Now here's something else to
keep in mind. Starting a new life?
Requires that you forgive yourself.
For the mistakes. Of the past, you've got to let
(08:17):
go of regret. I've met so many people who are
haunted by what they didn't do or the mistakes they made, but
I'm telling you, regret can be poison if you're not.
Careful if you're. Holding on to regret it will
weigh you down, keep you from moving forward.
Now I'm not saying ignore the. Past there's value.
(08:44):
In learning from it, but once you've learned the lesson.
Let it go. Think of it.
This way, imagine you're holdinga heavy stone in each hand.
One is labeled past failures andthe other.
Is labeled. Missed opportunities?
Now try climbing up a mountain holding those stones.
(09:06):
Impossible right to climb higher.
You have to lighten your load tostart a new life.
You have to. Release those stones and here's
something that most people don'tthink.
About but that. Plays a major role in starting
over. Our beliefs.
(09:26):
The beliefs you hold about yourself.
About the world Shape your life.They're like a lens filtering
every experience. Starting a new life often means
you need a new. Set of beliefs.
You may need to challenge and discard.
Beliefs that have kept you stuck.
(09:47):
You know it's often not reality.That holds us back, but our.
Perception of reality. It's the beliefs that keep.
Us in place that lock us into a life that's less than what we
want. To start a new life, you may
need to break free from the chains of those beliefs.
Create new ones. Say to yourself.
(10:11):
I am worthy. Of a better life, I have what it
takes. To change if you say it enough.
If you feel it, it. Begins to take.
Root. And suddenly you're moving in a
new direction and I'm telling you, on the path to a new life,
you're going to encounter challenges that's.
(10:34):
Just how it is. Change is uncomfortable, and
that discomfort is a test. Of your resolve.
Some people want change, but only if it's easy.
They say I want a new life, but they're not willing to put up
with the trials that come with it.
But those trials, those tests, they're what build character.
(11:00):
They're what prove to you that you're serious.
So here's my question for you. Are you willing to embrace
discomfort? For the.
Sake of transformation. Are you willing to be a little
uncomfortable, a little uncertain, a little bit
challenged? Because that's what.
(11:21):
Starting a new. Life requires it's.
Going to demand more of you thanthe old life ever did.
It's going to ask for more resilience, more patience, more.
Courage and. I'm telling you, if you're
willing to answer that call, if you're willing to rise.
To it, the rewards are worth. Every ounce of effort.
(11:43):
Think about this for a moment. If you could design the life you
want, what? Would it look like?
What if you could wake up? Every day feeling excited,
feeling purposeful, knowing you're doing something
meaningful. Imagine a life where you're
surrounded by people. Who uplift you?
Where you have energy, where you're constantly learning,
(12:06):
growing and becoming more. Imagine how that.
Life would feel. Now ask yourself, what am I
willing to do today to move closer?
To that vision because. That's how you start a new life.
One step, one choice, one decision at a time.
(12:28):
It's not about. Perfection.
Don't wait for everything to be lined up perfectly.
Don't wait for some magical moment where everything just
clicks. There is no perfect moment.
There's just now, and now is themoment to begin, to make a
decision and to take. The first step.
(12:49):
No matter how small, when you wait for perfection, you give
yourself an excuse to do nothing.
You. Say I'll start when the timing
is right. Or.
I'll wait until I'm ready. But if you're.
Always waiting. Then you'll never actually
begin. And I'll tell you, once you do
(13:11):
begin, the path becomes clearer.The next step?
Reveals itself. And then the next.
And before you know it, you're on your way.
Starting a new life also means learning to embrace failure in a
different way. Most people see failure.
As a stop. Sign as something to avoid at
(13:35):
all costs. But if you're going to change
your life, you need to. See Failure as a teacher.
Every failure contains a lesson,and every lesson is a step
forward. When I was younger, I used to
see every mistake I made as a blow to my confidence.
But one day I realized that. Every failure was actually a.
(13:57):
Stepping stone, showing me what didn't work and pointing me in a
better direction. Think about it this.
Way if? You've been living one way for
years and you want to start a new.
Life you're. Going to make mistakes.
It's a natural part of the. Process.
Think of a child learning to. Walk, they fall.
(14:20):
They stumble, they even cry, butthey don't give up.
And as adults, we can learn something from that persistence.
So when you stumble, when you make mistakes, don't get
discouraged. Remember, failure isn't final.
It's just part. Of the journey.
(14:42):
And one thing you must have if you want to start a new life is
discipline. People often overlook discipline
because it sounds tough. It sounds like a restriction,
like you're holding yourself back from something.
But I'm telling you, discipline is not a punishment.
It's the bridge. Between your goals and your
(15:03):
accomplishments, discipline is what allows you to keep going.
When motivation fades, you mightfeel excited and motivated in
the beginning, but that excitement will come and go.
Discipline, on the other hand, sticks around.
(15:26):
It keeps you moving even when things get hard.
And here's the good news. Discipline is like a muscle.
The more you use it, the stronger it.
Gets you start. Small with one little habit, and
you build from there. The key is consistency.
(15:48):
You don't have to do everything at once.
You just need to keep moving, keep showing up, keep doing
those little things each day that move you toward the new
life you're creating. When you're trying to start a
new life, you're going to have to leave your comfort.
Zone I get. It comfort zones are wonderful
(16:08):
warm places, but nothing grows there.
Growth only happens in that. Space just outside.
Your comfort zone. That's where the magic happens.
But here's the. Tricky part, when you start
stretching yourself, when you step out of that comfort zone,
your mind is going to play tricks on you.
(16:31):
It's going to whisper things like.
What if you fail? Who do?
You think you are, but remember.Those are just thoughts, they
don't have power. Unless you give them.
Power. Here's.
A tool that I find useful. Whenever you feel that doubt
(16:51):
creeping in, ask yourself. What if I succeed most people?
Spend their lives asking what ifit doesn't work out?
But what if it does work out? What if you?
Do succeed what? If you really can create a new
life, what if all the changes you're making lead you to
(17:13):
exactly where you want to be? Give yourself permission to
entertain that possibility. Imagine the best case scenario
instead of the worst. And here's something else you're
going to need. If you want to start a new life,
you need goals. You cannot start a new life
(17:34):
without a clear destination. Think of goals as the milestones
on your journey. They give you.
Direction, purpose, something toaim.
For, but here's. The thing about goals, it's not
enough just to. Set them you've.
Got to make them part of your daily.
(17:54):
Life. Most people set goals once.
Maybe at the beginning of the year and then they forget about
them. But if you're serious about.
Starting a new life you need to.Keep those goals.
Front and center. Write your goals down.
(18:15):
Look at them every day. Break them down into smaller
steps so they don't feel overwhelming, and keep moving
toward them, even if it's just one step at a time.
A small step. Forward is still progress.
And when you achieve those smaller.
Goals celebrate. Acknowledge your progress, even
(18:39):
if it's just a tiny. Step success.
Builds on success and each smallwin gives you the momentum to
keep going, starting a new life.Is also about.
Taking responsibility. For where you are.
And where you're going now, that's a tough pill for some
people to. Swallow, but it's the truth.
(19:02):
If you keep blaming others. Or the world.
Or circumstances you. Give away your power.
You say I can't change because of them, but when you take
responsibility, you take back control.
You say I am where I am because of the choices I've made, and if
(19:24):
I want to be somewhere else, I need to start making different
choices. Responsibility is empowering.
Because it puts. The power back in your hands.
If you want to start a new life,you're going to have to start
making new choices. Every day, every moment you're
(19:45):
presented with choices. Some of them are small and some.
Are big, but they all add up. And each choice you make is
either taking you closer to the life you want or pulling you
further away. So get in the habit of asking.
Yourself is this. Choice in line.
(20:08):
With the new. Life I want to create.
It's a simple question, but it can be.
A powerful guide. There's one more crucial part of
starting a new. Life you.
Got to be patient. Starting a new life is not an
(20:28):
overnight project, it's a journey.
There will be. Days when you feel like you're
not making any progress, when you wonder if it's.
Worth it, but. I'm telling you every small
action. You take every.
Disciplined step forward is moving you closer.
(20:48):
To your goal. Change takes time and real
transformation. Is a gradual process.
But if you stay consistent, if you keep going, eventually
you'll look back and realize just how far you've come.
Be patient with yourself. It's OK if things don't happen
(21:09):
as quickly as you'd. Like it's.
OK if you stumble. Or get discouraged.
Along the way, what matters is that you keep going.
Growth is like planting a seed you don't see the fruits of.
Your labor right away, but with.Time and nurturing it blossoms,
(21:30):
so don't. Rush the process.
Trust that if you stay committed, if you keep taking
those small. Steps.
You'll get there. I want you to remember something
important. Starting a new life isn't about
escaping your past, it's about learning from it and moving
(21:50):
forward. Sometimes people feel like they
need to run. Away from.
Everything they've ever done to erase their mistakes and start
completely. Fresh.
But you know. What your past?
Has value your experiences, eventhe difficult ones, even the
painful ones. I've taught you things.
(22:15):
They've made you who you are. Instead of running from your
past, embrace it. Take the lessons with you, but
don't let the past. Dictate your future.
And above all, remember that it's never too late to.
Start again. It doesn't matter if you're 2040
(22:38):
or 70. If you have.
The desire to change you can. I've seen people transform their
lives at every age, in every situation, from every
background. Age is no barrier.
Circumstances are no barrier. The only barrier is the belief
(22:58):
that you can't. So don't let that belief.
Stop you. It's never too late to.
Rewrite your story. Think of life as a series of
seasons. Some seasons are for planting,
some are for growing, some are for harvesting.
And sometimes you need a season of rest, a season to reflect, to
(23:21):
reimagine to. Prepare.
For what's next? If you're at a point where
you're ready for something new, then maybe.
This is your. Your season of renewal, a time
to start fresh, to plant the seeds of a new beginning.
Starting a new life means givingyourself permission to be a
(23:41):
beginner again. Some people are.
Afraid to start over because they're worried.
About being inexperienced, aboutnot knowing everything right
away. But every master was once a
beginner. Don't let the.
Fear. Of not knowing.
Stop you. From beginning, embrace the
(24:04):
learning process. Embrace the.
Fact that you're. Starting something new, that
you're creating, something fresh.
Let that excitement Dr. you and remember that you don't have to
do it alone. Surround yourself.
With people who support you, whobelieve.
In you who encourage you on yourjourney, seek out mentors.
(24:28):
People who have. Walked the path before you.
A good mentor can make all the difference, guiding you, showing
you. What's possible?
Helping you avoid some of the pitfalls along the way.
Life is precious, it's a gift. And you have the power to make
(24:49):
it whatever you want. Don't settle for a life that's
less than what you desire. Don't let.
Fear or doubt hold you back. Decide that you're going to
create something new, something beautiful, something meaningful.
Decide that you're going to become the person you've always
(25:09):
wanted. To be.
When you're ready to start a newlife, remember that you have
everything you need inside of you.
You have the strength, the wisdom.
The courage. And if you need a little help
along the way. That's OK too.
(25:31):
We all need a helping hand now and then, but the power to
change, the power to start anew,is already within you.
Take. That first step?
Today, dream it, plan it, and then act on it.
And if you keep taking those steps, if you keep moving
forward, you'll look back one day and see just how far you've
(25:54):
come. Your new life is waiting for
you. All you have to.
Do is begin?
Feeling stuck? Wish you could start over.

(09:06):
Impossible right to climb higher.
You have to lighten your load tostart a new life.
You have to. Release those stones and here's
something that most people don'tthink.
About but that. Plays a major role in starting
over. Our beliefs.
(09:26):
The beliefs you hold about yourself.
About the world Shape your life.They're like a lens filtering
every experience. Starting a new life often means
you need a new. Set of beliefs.
You may need to challenge and discard.
Beliefs that have kept you stuck.
(09:47):
You know it's often not reality.That holds us back, but our.
Perception of reality. It's the beliefs that keep.
Us in place that lock us into a life that's less than what we
want. To start a new life, you may
need to break free from the chains of those beliefs.
Create new ones. Say to yourself.
(10:11):
I am worthy. Of a better life, I have what it
takes. To change if you say it enough.
If you feel it, it. Begins to take.
Root. And suddenly you're moving in a
new direction and I'm telling you, on the path to a new life,
you're going to encounter challenges that's.
(10:34):
Just how it is. Change is uncomfortable, and
that discomfort is a test. Of your resolve.
Some people want change, but only if it's easy.
They say I want a new life, but they're not willing to put up
with the trials that come with it.
But those trials, those tests, they're what build character.
(11:00):
They're what prove to you that you're serious.
So here's my question for you. Are you willing to embrace
discomfort? For the.
Sake of transformation. Are you willing to be a little
uncomfortable, a little uncertain, a little bit
challenged? Because that's what.
(11:21):
Starting a new. Life requires it's.
Going to demand more of you thanthe old life ever did.
It's going to ask for more resilience, more patience, more.
Courage and. I'm telling you, if you're
willing to answer that call, if you're willing to rise.
To it, the rewards are worth. Every ounce of effort.
(11:43):
Think about this for a moment. If you could design the life you
want, what? Would it look like?
What if you could wake up? Every day feeling excited,
feeling purposeful, knowing you're doing something
meaningful. Imagine a life where you're
surrounded by people. Who uplift you?
Where you have energy, where you're constantly learning,
(12:06):
growing and becoming more. Imagine how that.
Life would feel. Now ask yourself, what am I
willing to do today to move closer?
To that vision because. That's how you start a new life.
One step, one choice, one decision at a time.
(12:28):
It's not about. Perfection.
Don't wait for everything to be lined up perfectly.
Don't wait for some magical moment where everything just
clicks. There is no perfect moment.
There's just now, and now is themoment to begin, to make a
decision and to take. The first step.
(12:49):
No matter how small, when you wait for perfection, you give
yourself an excuse to do nothing.
You. Say I'll start when the timing
is right. Or.
I'll wait until I'm ready. But if you're.
Always waiting. Then you'll never actually
begin. And I'll tell you, once you do
(13:11):
begin, the path becomes clearer.The next step?
Reveals itself. And then the next.
And before you know it, you're on your way.
Starting a new life also means learning to embrace failure in a
different way. Most people see failure.
As a stop. Sign as something to avoid at
(13:35):
all costs. But if you're going to change
your life, you need to. See Failure as a teacher.
Every failure contains a lesson,and every lesson is a step
forward. When I was younger, I used to
see every mistake I made as a blow to my confidence.
But one day I realized that. Every failure was actually a.
(13:57):
Stepping stone, showing me what didn't work and pointing me in a
better direction. Think about it this.
Way if? You've been living one way for
years and you want to start a new.
Life you're. Going to make mistakes.
It's a natural part of the. Process.
Think of a child learning to. Walk, they fall.
(14:20):
They stumble, they even cry, butthey don't give up.
And as adults, we can learn something from that persistence.
So when you stumble, when you make mistakes, don't get
discouraged. Remember, failure isn't final.
It's just part. Of the journey.
(14:42):
And one thing you must have if you want to start a new life is
discipline. People often overlook discipline
because it sounds tough. It sounds like a restriction,
like you're holding yourself back from something.
But I'm telling you, discipline is not a punishment.
It's the bridge. Between your goals and your
(15:03):
accomplishments, discipline is what allows you to keep going.
When motivation fades, you mightfeel excited and motivated in
the beginning, but that excitement will come and go.
Discipline, on the other hand, sticks around.
(15:26):
It keeps you moving even when things get hard.
And here's the good news. Discipline is like a muscle.
The more you use it, the stronger it.
Gets you start. Small with one little habit, and
you build from there. The key is consistency.
(15:48):
You don't have to do everything at once.
You just need to keep moving, keep showing up, keep doing
those little things each day that move you toward the new
life you're creating. When you're trying to start a
new life, you're going to have to leave your comfort.
Zone I get. It comfort zones are wonderful
(16:08):
warm places, but nothing grows there.
Growth only happens in that. Space just outside.
Your comfort zone. That's where the magic happens.
But here's the. Tricky part, when you start
stretching yourself, when you step out of that comfort zone,
your mind is going to play tricks on you.
(16:31):
It's going to whisper things like.
What if you fail? Who do?
You think you are, but remember.Those are just thoughts, they
don't have power. Unless you give them.
Power. Here's.
A tool that I find useful. Whenever you feel that doubt
(16:51):
creeping in, ask yourself. What if I succeed most people?
Spend their lives asking what ifit doesn't work out?
But what if it does work out? What if you?
Do succeed what? If you really can create a new
life, what if all the changes you're making lead you to
(17:13):
exactly where you want to be? Give yourself permission to
entertain that possibility. Imagine the best case scenario
instead of the worst. And here's something else you're
going to need. If you want to start a new life,
you need goals. You cannot start a new life
(17:34):
without a clear destination. Think of goals as the milestones
on your journey. They give you.
Direction, purpose, something toaim.
For, but here's. The thing about goals, it's not
enough just to. Set them you've.
Got to make them part of your daily.
(17:54):
Life. Most people set goals once.
Maybe at the beginning of the year and then they forget about
them. But if you're serious about.
Starting a new life you need to.Keep those goals.
Front and center. Write your goals down.
(18:15):
Look at them every day. Break them down into smaller
steps so they don't feel overwhelming, and keep moving
toward them, even if it's just one step at a time.
A small step. Forward is still progress.
And when you achieve those smaller.
Goals celebrate. Acknowledge your progress, even
(18:39):
if it's just a tiny. Step success.
Builds on success and each smallwin gives you the momentum to
keep going, starting a new life.Is also about.
Taking responsibility. For where you are.
And where you're going now, that's a tough pill for some
people to. Swallow, but it's the truth.
(19:02):
If you keep blaming others. Or the world.
Or circumstances you. Give away your power.
You say I can't change because of them, but when you take
responsibility, you take back control.
You say I am where I am because of the choices I've made, and if
(19:24):
I want to be somewhere else, I need to start making different
choices. Responsibility is empowering.
Because it puts. The power back in your hands.
If you want to start a new life,you're going to have to start
making new choices. Every day, every moment you're
(19:45):
presented with choices. Some of them are small and some.
Are big, but they all add up. And each choice you make is
either taking you closer to the life you want or pulling you
further away. So get in the habit of asking.
Yourself is this. Choice in line.
(20:08):
With the new. Life I want to create.
It's a simple question, but it can be.
A powerful guide. There's one more crucial part of
starting a new. Life you.
Got to be patient. Starting a new life is not an
(20:28):
overnight project, it's a journey.
There will be. Days when you feel like you're
not making any progress, when you wonder if it's.
Worth it, but. I'm telling you every small
action. You take every.
Disciplined step forward is moving you closer.
(20:48):
To your goal. Change takes time and real
transformation. Is a gradual process.
But if you stay consistent, if you keep going, eventually
you'll look back and realize just how far you've come.
Be patient with yourself. It's OK if things don't happen
(21:09):
as quickly as you'd. Like it's.
OK if you stumble. Or get discouraged.
Along the way, what matters is that you keep going.
Growth is like planting a seed you don't see the fruits of.
Your labor right away, but with.Time and nurturing it blossoms,
(21:30):
so don't. Rush the process.
Trust that if you stay committed, if you keep taking
those small. Steps.
You'll get there. I want you to remember something
important. Starting a new life isn't about
escaping your past, it's about learning from it and moving
(21:50):
forward. Sometimes people feel like they
need to run. Away from.
Everything they've ever done to erase their mistakes and start
completely. Fresh.
But you know. What your past?
Has value your experiences, eventhe difficult ones, even the
painful ones. I've taught you things.
(22:15):
They've made you who you are. Instead of running from your
past, embrace it. Take the lessons with you, but
don't let the past. Dictate your future.
And above all, remember that it's never too late to.
Start again. It doesn't matter if you're 2040
(22:38):
or 70. If you have.
The desire to change you can. I've seen people transform their
lives at every age, in every situation, from every
background. Age is no barrier.
Circumstances are no barrier. The only barrier is the belief
(22:58):
that you can't. So don't let that belief.
Stop you. It's never too late to.
Rewrite your story. Think of life as a series of
seasons. Some seasons are for planting,
some are for growing, some are for harvesting.
And sometimes you need a season of rest, a season to reflect, to
(23:21):
reimagine to. Prepare.
For what's next? If you're at a point where
you're ready for something new, then maybe.
This is your. Your season of renewal, a time
to start fresh, to plant the seeds of a new beginning.
Starting a new life means givingyourself permission to be a
(23:41):
beginner again. Some people are.
Afraid to start over because they're worried.
About being inexperienced, aboutnot knowing everything right
away. But every master was once a
beginner. Don't let the.
Fear. Of not knowing.
Stop you. From beginning, embrace the
(24:04):
learning process. Embrace the.
Fact that you're. Starting something new, that
you're creating, something fresh.
Let that excitement Dr. you and remember that you don't have to
do it alone. Surround yourself.
With people who support you, whobelieve.
In you who encourage you on yourjourney, seek out mentors.
(24:28):
People who have. Walked the path before you.
A good mentor can make all the difference, guiding you, showing
you. What's possible?
Helping you avoid some of the pitfalls along the way.
Life is precious, it's a gift. And you have the power to make
(24:49):
it whatever you want. Don't settle for a life that's
less than what you desire. Don't let.
Fear or doubt hold you back. Decide that you're going to
create something new, something beautiful, something meaningful.
Decide that you're going to become the person you've always
(25:09):
wanted. To be.
When you're ready to start a newlife, remember that you have
everything you need inside of you.
You have the strength, the wisdom.
The courage. And if you need a little help
along the way. That's OK too.
(25:31):
We all need a helping hand now and then, but the power to
change, the power to start anew,is already within you.
Take. That first step?
Today, dream it, plan it, and then act on it.
And if you keep taking those steps, if you keep moving
forward, you'll look back one day and see just how far you've
(25:54):
come. Your new life is waiting for
you. All you have to.
Do is begin?
