Why start over? Why not build on your strengths? Why not pick up where you left off? Why reinvent the wheel? Stand on the shoulders of those that came before you to create something bigger and better. You can’t stand on top of mountains by running down to the valley.
There is a time to start over. A time to go in a new direction. A time to approach a problem from a new angle.
But, more often than not, staying the course, building on your existing foundation and strengths, leveraging who you already are, will get your further. You don’t always need to reinvent yourself. You’re already amazing. Run with that.
