Remember the first day of school when your parents smiled and you cried your way into a world, which you thought was devoid of their protection? Nah, how would you? You were too young!
Beginning, start, embark are all nice words to hear. My mind springs into action on hearing such words. Only some words have the power to make you feel something. Compare such words to a word like end or finish. Does not have the same effect, does it?
A successful life always comprises of beginnings that met their desired ends. Likewise, an unsuccessful life comprises of beginnings that did not meet their ends.
But, beginnings are refreshing. Beginnings are always enthusiastic; beginnings are always happier than endings; beginnings are always hopeful; hopeful of meeting its end.
For me personally, the morning is recharging. After the effects of a polluted, tiring day; there is hope that the comforting, cool rays of the sun and the fresh air will infuse you with the energy that will drive you. There is something about the light, about the freshness; there is a zest the morning offers; a hope for a better today; a fanaticism to help you make a new beginning.
So, if you look at life. What is the secret to a happy, purposeful life? That is a clichéd question with no clichéd answers. I feel life will only be purposeful if you make a new beginning everyday. I have been guilty of not doing that myself. Carrying excess baggage will never do you any good.
Life is what it is today. You will never repeat yesterday, whether it was good or bad. You need to make a new beginning today. The past and the future are illusionary; the present is what is; the present is when you have to make a beginning.
New beginnings are also nervy. You are weary of the new people; maybe weary of attitudes that contradicted yours previously; weary of giving the right vibes. But, the beginning is what lads you to an end. So go ahead and make your beginning!
