Creating New Beginnings in Every Moment

We tend to associate new beginnings with big milestone moments. A new job, a move, moving on from a relationship, or beginning a new year can all feel like beginning again. However, the fact is you don't have to wait for big changes to start again. Every single moment is where you get to decide on a new path, to release what no longer serves you, and to return to the humanity you are becoming.

There is elegance to understanding that your next start can start this second. It does not even have to be loud or dramatic. It might seem like inhaling deeply, re-stepping into a new frame of mind, or showing up differently in something you already do. It begins with these moments of change lasting, one decision at a time.

New beginnings are not an annihilation of the past. They are about growing from it, forgetting where possible, and having the strength and faith to move on with wisdom and faith. You're not measured by what's happened in the past, by what nasty old habits you got used to doing, or even by what sometimes makes you play it small. Growth occurs when you decide to do that from a place of clarity and not fear.

Most lasting change happens in a moment of peaceful obedience, but a decision to do something differently. You may have a desire to talk to yourself gently instead of being a critic. You may seek help, start a tiny push in the direction of a goal, or at least let go of something that has held you back. These are acts of courage. These are the building blocks that will make up your life.

Whether your past was filled with having to start over, once is never too many. Every present moment is giving us a fresh start. You may try again. You can change your mind, take a new path, and believe in growth.

What would it feel like to start over again today? It does not need to be flawless. It just has to be real. Each moment is an opportunity to do something greater. All you have to do is traverse it with intent, faith, & willingness to cultivate.
