Starting From where You Left Off

If you're driving a car from Kansas City to Philadelphia and get tired while passing through Indianapolis, you pull over and find a place to sleep for the night.  When you awaken in the morning, you're not magically sent back to Kansas, you're still in Indianapolis.  The same principle applies when life knocks you down.  When you get up, instead of thinking you're starting over or starting again (with the anxiety and judgement that often comes along in the back seat), see that you're actually starting from where you left off and with all your wisdom and life experiences to help guide you.
