Start over, No. Enjoy new experiences or share others experiences Yes.
I try to squeeze the most out of each day knowing that they are limited.
No regrets. . .

IMHO, it's never too late to start over. The trap is thinking that you are too (insert reason here) to start over.

Yes, I do believe. I have started over several times and it was the best thing for me. Once, I had a job and as my days off ended and it was almost time to go back to work, I would get plum sick just knowing I had to go back to that place in a matter of hours. So, I resigned. I had no job, very little money, and no idea where I was gonna live. I answered an ad for another job in a total different field and I loved it. You must be happy in your job or personal life. Yes, I believe.

I joined the Army, did 3 years and got out. I became a civilian for a few years and that was pretty rough for me. I went back active duty and I am still at it to this day. But I do look forward to starting over, once again.

The trick is not letting your Ego tell you that you too old or that why start over things won't ever change. Human beings have an amazing capacity for creation...we create in our lives that which we give the most attention too...the good and the bad.

Thinking it is too late to start over, means you need to change your mindset and just do it...it is possible to have, be and do whatever we want...we just have to put in the work.

A rut is just a grave with the ends kicked out. Been there, done that, didn't like it much.

I've started over several times now, and at 71 I am trying to get a new business started.

It is only too late if you wait until you hear the dirt hit the box.

I agree, it's never too late to begin over. Mistakes are made and lessons are learned. Use the knowledge gained to better yourself and your situation the next time around.

Yes, I believe that - because it's true. The thing is, before you start over, you need to own your part of the reason you are starting over in the first place - define it, and own it. Then, rethink what happened - don't just ask the question "What was I thinking?" - answer it! Then, release it - forgive yourself, forgive others - then, you will be ready to start over!
If you don't do these things, then you will likely need to start over many more times.

Acceptance of change is hard for me. Being in the Army so long and from a young age is kinda like the programming inmates go through in prison. We get used to a routine, and that routine becomes a part of us. We even start to like the predictability of it even unit to unit. So being out, while having it's perks to a point, has been a mentally testing time, and to cope, I find myself often reverting to my old self to make it through. By this, I come to work, do rotations and stretch, then get down and start pushin every hour. It's a way to make it through the day do a little PT, and tell myself that while the old me is "sorta" gone, who I was can still have a strong role in who I am today and tomorrow.

When traveling down a road that you discover is the wrong one for you, you, and only you, have the power to turn around. And it's just that simple.

Hell no, Ma'am, it is never too late to start over. When I moved to Pocatello, ID from Omaha, NE back in 2009 I was basically leaving what I knew to something new and unknown. And I have prospered since.

I do believe it's never too late to start over. I think we have all read about stories where people have become successful by starting something new. However age does bring a factor in when it comes to starting new things. Only a factor, not an automatic no.
