One thing I've recognized about the apprehension of starting over is the common factor or detrimental flaw almost always present is fear.
We love habits and routines. Habits can be good while others bad, but sometimes we're so comfortable and find so much solace in routines that we forget to walk with our eyes open!
Things become monotonous and we are comfortable. Have you heard the saying, "I can do this with my eyes closed"? That speaks of ease. So, we cannot sleepwalk through our life. We don't want to miss out on the life God has for us because we are fearful of something new. Have you started a new job and felt the first weeks were challenging? Once we get a little time under our belt the job seems to come natural. It all works out!
There is an element to starting over that is imperative to possess and that is FAITH!
Start the new journey, walk by faith, overcome, and excel!-JS
