One of the best words to use when you feel bad

“Again” is a common word, but for those who’ve failed, been rejected, feel ashamed, it’s incredibly powerful.

It means you get to start afresh; you get to find new love or rekindle an old one after feeling unlovable; you get to do that thing you never thought you would be able to do after failing so many times; you get to find a new career after getting laid off. “Again” is a whisper of possibility, a hint of opportunity, when you think there’s no point, no future, no more. It’s a resurrection, redemption, death to life, hell to heaven.

Life isn’t over when you fail, get rejected, fall in shame.

Try again. Get up again.

Go again. Fly again.

Live again.

Hope again.
