It’s Okay to Start Over - New Beginnings Are Beautiful

WATCH THE VIDEO

Starting over can feel terrifying. It can feel like failure, like you wasted time, like everyone else is moving forward while you’re going back to square one. But here’s the truth: starting over isn’t the end of your story - it’s the beginning of something better.

Just ask J.K. Rowling. Before she became one of the most successful authors in the world, she was a single mother on welfare, battling depression, and writing in cafés because she couldn’t afford to heat her apartment. Her first Harry Potter manuscript was rejected by twelve publishers. But she didn’t quit. She started over - and in doing so, she changed her life, and the lives of millions of readers around the globe.

Or consider Robert Downey Jr. For years, he was seen as a “has-been” because of his battles with addiction, arrests, and public struggles. Hollywood considered him uninsurable. But he got clean. He started again. And today, he’s remembered not as the man who fell, but as Iron Man - on screen and in life.

Why Starting Over is Strength

We all need to hit reset sometimes. Maybe it’s a relationship that ended, a dream that didn’t work out, a career that lost meaning, or simply realizing the old path isn’t working anymore. Whatever it is, starting over isn’t weakness. It’s refusing to settle. It’s choosing to believe your best days aren’t behind you - they’re still ahead. Blank pages are where the best stories begin. Some of the most beautiful chapters of your life won’t start until you let go of what’s gone and embrace what’s next.

Living With Courage

Starting over might mean:

• Being misunderstood.

• Feeling afraid.

• Walking alone for a season.

But with every step forward, you grow braver, wiser, and more in tune with who you really are. You’re not lost - you’re becoming. So give yourself grace. Take the next small step. And trust that God doesn’t waste anything - not even your setbacks.
