234 Awesome Beginning Quotes To Help You Start Over

Beginning

One evening in December 1914, a huge fire burned down the plant of Thomas Edison, the legendary American inventor, and businessman.

As the flames hungrily ravaged his vast work, he walked over to his son. Edison asked him to go call his mother and her friends because they'd never see a fire like that again.

He was 67 years old at the time, quite an advanced age. But instead of whining and asking why that had to happen to him, he said that despite his age, ‘I will start all over again tomorrow.'

He didn't show any remorse, disappointment, or frustration. In fact, he went to sleep. The next day he was up and back to the drawing board.

To him, the disaster had great value because it had burned down all his past mistakes. He would start afresh. And sure enough, within three weeks, his plant was up and running.

Thomas Edison ended up being a notably prolific inventor of his time. One of his biggest accomplishments was perfecting the light bulb after trying 10,000 times. He said that he didn't fail 10,000 times but found 10,000 ways it won't work.

And that story right there is the foundation of our 'beginning' quotes. An end always marks a new beginning. When something comes to an end, even in the most devastating way possible, it always paves way for a new start.

Endings can be unexpected and starting over can be daunting. But remember, there's always a reason why it had to end. Your next phase could be the one you have been waiting for your whole life. Maybe that end was a blessing in disguise

Nothing in the universe can stop you from letting go and starting over. So go ahead, you can do this! We'll cheer you on with our awesomely encouraging beginning quotes. Let's go!

The Lord is in control. He knows the end from the beginning. He has given us adequate instruction that, if followed, will see us safely through any crisis.

Beginnings can be delicate or explosive. They can start almost invisibly or arrive with a big bang. Beginnings hold the promise of new lessons to be learned, new territory to be explored, and old lessons to be recalled, practiced, and appreciated. Beginnings hold ambiguity, promise, fear, and hope. Don’t let the lessons, the experiences of the past, dampen your enthusiasm for beginnings. Just because it’s been hard doesn’t mean it will always be that difficult. Don’t let the heartbreaks of the past cause you to become cynical, close you off to life’s magic and promise. Open yourself wide to all that the universe has to say. Let yourself begin anew. Pack your bags. Choose carefully what you bring, because packing is an important ritual. Take long some humility and the lessons of the past. Toss in some curiosity and excitement and what you haven’t yet learned. Say your good-byes to whose you’re leaving behind. Don’t worry who you will meet or where you will go. The way has been prepared. The people you are to meet will be expecting you. A new journey has begun. Let it be magical. Let it unfold. Take time now to honour the beginning.

We believe that to Christ belongs creative power--that "without Him was not anything made which was made." We believe that from Him came all life at first. In Him life was as in its deep source. He is the fountain of life. We believe that as not being comes into existence without His creative power, so none continues to exist without His sustaining energy. We believe that the history of the world is but the history of His influence, and that the centre of the whole universe is the cross of Cavalry.
