You're Allowed To Start Over

[00:00:17.69]Hi, people.
This is Lynda again.
[00:00:21.05]And today we’re going
to have some real talk.
[00:00:26.37]‘You Are Allowed To Start Over’.
[00:00:29.81]And just a reminder,
starting over isn’t giving up.
[00:00:34.65]It doesn’t mean the last
chapter was a waste.
[00:00:39.25]What does it mean?
[00:00:41.09]That you learned, that you grew.
[00:00:45.93]You’re not back at square one.
[00:00:47.93]You’re just starting from experience.
[00:00:52.33]You’re actually allowed
to change your mind.
[00:00:54.57]You’re allowed to change your job.
[00:00:56.61]You’re allowed to change your city.
[00:00:58.69]You’re also allowed to change
your circle, your network.
[00:01:06.09]And you’re allowed to walk away from
things that no longer fit you,
[00:01:12.33]even if you once prayed for them.
You know what they say?
[00:01:16.09]Be careful what you pray for,
you might just get it, eh?
[00:01:19.09]You don’t need anyone’s
approval to begin again.
[00:01:24.09]As many times as it takes,
every version of you is valid.
[00:01:32.37]And the next version gets
to be even freer and better.
[00:01:38.93]You need God’s grace for a reset.
[00:01:43.21]It’s scary, I know, but staying
[00:01:49.57]stuck out is a bit scary.
[00:01:54.69]It’s actually scarier.
[00:01:57.13]Give yourself permission.
[00:01:59.53]Take one small step.
[00:02:03.25]I will say this again: You’re allowed
to start over as many times as you need.
[00:02:09.85]This is your life.
[00:02:11.77]You write the next page.
