I recently had occasion to sit with a friend, Dave, and he told me a strategy he is employing to successfully face his future. He told me there comes a time in life where you can decide to take an entirely new path (hopefully a path for the better). This involves transforming yourself totally. He said restarting your life, especially if you have had some really tough times, can seem almost impossible, but it is possible!
His argument was that sometimes even insurance companies declare some vehicles beyond salvage and offer the clients new vehicles. Similarly, you can come up with a brand new you, so long as you are alive.
