Ikigai Thought for Today: Beginning Again
If change has been difficult, focus on this one thing.
If making meaningful change has been difficult, learn to master the practice of starting over.
Begin again.
You do so without being caught up in the emotional stories of why you can’t achieve your dream.
No judgments about how unworthy you are or why the change you seek is impossible for you.
Permit yourself the freedom to ignore what has come before.
You become a more effective person by simply learning to use your time and energy to focus on what you can do right now.
It is okay to start over.
Begin (again) then become.
Practicing beginning again, with no (or as little as possible) judgment, has been one of the most mind blowing and empowering changes ever.
The shift from "I can't because he - they - it" or "of course I have to because he - they - it" to "I can begin again" is seismic
