Starting life over is something we must do every second. We must not wait until we want to start over because at that point wanting to start life over is only our futile wish to avoid what has already happened. Do you remember the lessons from an earlier chapter, in which we learned that we are tied to whatever we avoid? Trying to start our life over because we want to get away from our sad-self – or the sorry situations it has created – is like leaping onto a sinking ship to get off of a collapsing dock. Clearly, this is the way to go under, not to start over. But there is a way. Here is how. • Try and forget. Block it out of your life and memory. Try talking to a therapist or a health professional to try and do this a healthier way. Forgetting the past is one of the most challenging things to do, but it can be done. • Learn to be positive! If you keep moaning about your life, other people will only notice the bad aspects of your character and categorize you as a person who is 'Boring' - or worse! Who wants to spend time with a wet blanket! Go to places where people are positive and support you with positive thoughts. • Live life to the fullest. Do what you like to do. Take risks, but not so much risks that can hurt your own life the way you live it. Life is short, and everyone should live life to the fullest! Be bold. You only get one chance to live. Make it the best. Each person lives differently, so make the spotlights shine on your life! • Be open to change. Changes in your job, friends, and the government. With practice you will be able to anticipate it. • Be realistic. Change is hard; it's often the best possible thing you can do for yourself, but trying to change too many aspects of your life at once can be very stressful and can undo the good effect it was intended to have. Simple as it is are the simplest things which you can do in order to start a life again.
