Anytime in your life you can restart. Often that is something we learn without power of choice. Loss is the greatest catalyst for restarting your life. Not that we need to loose anything to begin over again, though that is what seems to push us forward when we get comfortable in our lives.
I’ve always seen loss as the Universes way of telling us we have to change. Life must go on. It cannot stay the same. In a sense it is like a rebirth to restart. I can’t set rules for this necessary life fact because everyone’s life is so unique to them. We evolve and grow at different times in our lives.
Having your own rebirth is guided with miracles in the process if you look to see them. For example when I moved to a new country I left because I had endured terrible heart break in a romantic relationship as well as in a family relationship. It was too much to bear to live in the same city as what reminded me of the pain. Perhaps moving away was a trauma response of flight but I am grateful something pushed me to a new life. Starting over at a young age was filled with optimism that I was going to a new place and I had all these expectations for my life. I thought I’d fall in love, get married by 30 and life a happy life. But I found myself working so had to just build a foundation to be in a new place alone that I didn’t create the life I initially wanted. It turned into its own thing. I had to learn to go with the flow and at the same time I experienced amazing new places and a world of cultures. Still hoping I would return with a family to visit, that was never the case. I returned continuously to see those I loved. And I found myself on my own almost every year for two decades. In that time I restarted so many time, moving cities, changing friends, meeting new people and still returning to visit the people back where I left. The restart saved my life I’m sure of it, allowed me to create a beautiful life. And yet I still imagine I will find a forever love two decades later.
You see your dream life is being created through the journey and the experiences. It’s never about the destination. We have to let go of our old life to move forward with our new life. In the process you may discover your dreams are all coming to you.
