Starting Over Quotes: 33 Sayings To Encourage You

If you have ever tried to download a heavy file and towards the end, something interrupts it and you have to begin afresh, it hurts. So much and most times, you don’t even bother re-starting again. The bad news is that real life hurts more. The good news, or do we say consolation?- is that you are not alone – millions of homo sapiens every have had causes to bite their fingers and wish the world could turn on its head, spit coal, fly, do anything but remain in the position of this reversal of fortune, this mitigation of dream, this trouble that reeks of finality.

Sometimes, quotes won’t do; sometimes, philosophy isn’t enough; sometimes, even the imagination cannot see the way forward. Sometimes, there is only one thing to do – get up and start over.
