There is the possibility of growing in the most difficult of places

New Year’s Day is fading fast in our rearview mirror. Perhaps you dreamed of a career change or made a career resolution and broke it. You believe all is lost, thinking now you’ll wait until your birthday in late August to make a fresh start on your career.

When can we start over? The truth is, anytime. The next moment invites you to begin again. And the moment after sends a second invitation. And each moment does this again and again and again. Don’t dither, postpone, or procrastinate on career change for a special event or specific date on the calendar. Close the door on real or imagined setbacks and open the door for a fresh start right now. And if this fresh start doesn’t proceed as planned the next moment after that is a great time to begin.
