The moment that scares me the most is just before I start
Stephen King
- We believe that everything is lost when.
- At certain times in our lives.
- We find ourselves at a crossroads that makes it difficult to know where to go.
- What to do.
- Or how to solve chaos.
- It is at this point that we believe that there is no destiny or solution.
- Turning our forces into despair.
In those moments, certain voices, some memories or some writings will tell us “We have to start from scratch”. But is it really possible to start from scratch?
Rationally, it’s almost impossible to start from scratch, because how can we leave ourselves behind?Even if we had to completely change the way we were, it would be produced by a change in previous history that marked our “being in the world. “
Rational logic makes it almost impossible to “start from scratch”, but it is possible to embark in a new direction, in a new destination, sailing with our ship to other ports.
Living means activating solutions, making decisions. The price of being able to breathe every day is having to choose when life tells us, but now the million dollar question: when should we do this?
Simply when our balance sheet is negative; that is, when we do not realize our positive stability and the negative consequences are accommodated in us, and everything around our living conditions.
And is it possible to achieve what we call happiness?The answer is very clear: yes, although the changes involve effort and sacrifice, at least at first.
Does choosing require fighting adversity, even what hurts us and is part of us, against the frustration of remembering things that have comforted us or given us stability?
However, when this tide passes, this emotional tsunami that involves making decisions and choosing our living conditions, is it possible to recover this concept as personal as it is?And, of course, come and feel it.
Starting from scratch also requires making decisions based on the information we have, decisions involving risks, discomfort.
Making these life-changing decisions requires us to be aware when it comes to valuing them, because they may very well have important consequences around us, consequences that we also have to face.
Starting from scratch does not mean forgetting, but learning; learn from our past and our present, and be prepared to generate a new future, because with each learning we expand our opportunity to choose, increase our background and generate life opportunities.
Who has never experienced a change of partner, change of work or change of values?Such events should go hand in hand with a “I have to start from scratch”.
We must also understand that starting from scratch does not always mean breaking with the previous one; it can simply be a change of perspective and tools so that we can deal with what we couldn’t before.
Perhaps, on many occasions, we have heard the experiences of people who have survived a very serious illness or accident and, as a result, something has awakened them, giving them the strength to change the course of their lives.
These people have started to live smarter because of a traumatic event that, unfortunately, is the one that makes us tremble and what change?First, they start doing the things they’ve always dreamed of, sharing their time with the people they love, or making trips they would never do if they did.
These people started from scratch or maybe, and I repeat, maybe they began to appreciate from another horizon the incredible journey of their existence, they began to savor every second that passes and to take a deep breath until they felt that every moment of life is a gift.
For every day of our lives is a new beginning, a new opportunity to be who we want to be, to feel the air, the sun and the stars; but above all, it is a new opportunity to feel the direction that our hearts show us. The best beginnings come after the worst endings.
