It does not matter where you stopped...in what moment of your life you got tired...what is important is that it is always possible to restart.

To start again is to give yourself another chance…

It is to renew life’s hopes, and what is more important: it is to believe in yourself again.

Did you suffer a lot during this period? It was a lesson…

Did you cry a lot? It was to purify your soul …

Did you get angry at people? It was necessary so that you could forgive them one day…

Did you feel lonely sometimes? It is because you closed the door even to the angels…

Are you feeling lonely? Maybe you moved away from people during your period of isolation…

Did you believe it was all lost? It was the beginning of your recovery…

So, now it is time to restart, to think about the light…to find pleasure in the simple things again.

There are so many people just waiting for a smile to come next to you.

What about looking after yourself? Or maybe doing another course, or perhaps carrying out that old desire of learning how to paint, to draw, to learn to use a computer, or any other thing you might choose.

How many challenges life can offer you!

How many new things to be discovered!

When we lock ourselves into sadness we can hardly stand ourselves, we become nasty.

Bad humour mines our liver, until our mouth becomes bitter.

If you are feeling like that, with a sensation of defeat, it is time to restart…

Today is a good day to face new challenges.

Decide where you want to get and take the first step.

To start, make a mental cleanse, throwing away all pessimist feelings and thoughts you have been accumulating over the years.

Throw away all resentments and hard feelings that stop happiness form getting inside your heart.

Get rid of this feeing of inferiority, of incapacity, and start valorising yourself. You are what you make of yourself.

After that, clean your bedroom. Throw away all that rubbish you have been accumulating over the years, only as memories from the past.

Old papers that you will not need anymore. Records and tapes you will not listen to anymore, tickets from the cinema, plane tickets, and all that which brings you sad memories.

Open your wardrobe and take out everything you do not wear anymore. Donate to someone who needs it. Donate also all the shoes that hurt your feet, either because they are not your size or because your feet number is not the same anymore.

To start again it is necessary to open physical and mental spaces...

After doing these things, read a good book or watch a good film, to feed your mind with optimistic and positive ideas.

Get close to friends and relatives, happy people who will help you maintain high spirits and courage.

While you re-establish yourself, avoid pessimistic and discouraged people. Search for them only when you feel you are strong enough to help them.

Look for a calm place and raise a prayer to God.

Start your prayer thanking God for your life, for the renovated opportunities, for the obstacles and challenges that you come across. Once we get over them, we feel stronger.

Remember: today is a blank page the Creator offered you so that you have the chance to write a new chapter of your own history.

To restart is just a matter of desiring it. If you desire, God does too. That is why He always waves this new chance called present.

Think about it and do not waste a minute!
