Starting over can be difficult when it comes to defining your identity. This is especially true when you associate yourself strongly with a particular role or organization. Transitioning out of something or getting kicked out can deeply unsettle your sense of self. Identifying with external factors can obscure your true self and make it hard to let go. However, in order to step into who you are becoming, you must let go of who you once were. Having internal conversations and reframing your past as valuable experiences can help in this process. The skills and knowledge gained from previous endeavors can be repackaged and used in new ways, leading to a transformation of identity. It is important to view your past as a compost pile, providing fertilizer for your future growth. Letting go of the fear of starting over allows you to embrace the opportunity to build something new.
