"Every moment is a fresh beginning". TS Eliot

It’s interesting to think that we can start anew with each passing moment. We can let go of the past, let go of whatever is holding us back, and start again, doing whatever it is we want to do. It’s refreshing to know that the present is not entirely enmeshed in the past, and our future is being created moment by moment.  Since none of us knows what the future holds, the idea of new beginnings can feel terrifying at times. However, if you focus on that which is optimistic and encouraging, starting afresh can be an exciting time. If my mind is telling me that it’s time for a new chapter, let this new beginning allow me to become the change I want to see.
