Hi, people.
This is Lynda again.

2
00:00:21.048 --> 00:00:23.648
And today we're going
to have some real talk.

3
00:00:26.368 --> 00:00:27.848
'You Are Allowed To Start Over'.

4
00:00:29.808 --> 00:00:33.608
And just a reminder,
starting over isn't giving up.

5
00:00:34.648 --> 00:00:37.808
It doesn't mean the last
chapter was a waste.

6
00:00:39.248 --> 00:00:40.208
What does it mean?

7
00:00:41.088 --> 00:00:44.488
That you learned, that you grew.

8
00:00:45.928 --> 00:00:47.248
You're not back at square one.

9
00:00:47.928 --> 00:00:50.568
You're just starting from experience.

10
00:00:52.328 --> 00:00:54.128
You're actually allowed
to change your mind.

11
00:00:54.568 --> 00:00:56.428
You're allowed to change your job.

12
00:00:56.608 --> 00:00:58.368
You're allowed to change your city.

13
00:00:58.688 --> 00:01:04.568
You're also allowed to change
your circle, your network.

14
00:01:06.088 --> 00:01:10.968
And you're allowed to walk away from
things that no longer fit you,

15
00:01:12.328 --> 00:01:15.328
even if you once prayed for them.
You know what they say?

16
00:01:16.088 --> 00:01:19.048
Be careful what you pray for,
you might just get it, eh?

17
00:01:19.088 --> 00:01:23.768
You don't need anyone's
approval to begin again.

18
00:01:24.088 --> 00:01:31.008
As many times as it takes,
every version of you is valid.

19
00:01:32.368 --> 00:01:37.328
And the next version gets
to be even freer and better.

20
00:01:38.928 --> 00:01:40.928
You need God's grace for a reset.

21
00:01:43.208 --> 00:01:48.088
It's scary, I know, but staying

22
00:01:49.568 --> 00:01:54.448
stuck out is a bit scary.

23
00:01:54.688 --> 00:01:55.848
It's actually scarier.

24
00:01:57.128 --> 00:01:58.688
Give yourself permission.

25
00:01:59.528 --> 00:02:01.168
Take one small step.

26
00:02:03.248 --> 00:02:09.008
I will say this again: You're allowed
to start over as many times as you need.

27
00:02:09.848 --> 00:02:10.888
This is your life.

28
00:02:11.768 --> 00:02:14.168
You write the next page.
