We have it in our power to begin the world over again.

Thomas Paine
About This Quote

To begin a world over again means to start a new one. This is a very powerful thought, especially for those of us who have been struck down by failure and disappointment. If we can rise from the ashes time and again, we can choose to start over. We don’t have to live with the failure that has hurt us so deeply, and we don’t have to live in shame.

We’re not just saying we want to start over – we can. Every time we fall, we can choose to rise up and start over again.
