"Every day I feel is a blessing from God. And I consider it a new beginning. Yeah everything is beautiful." — Prince
Pause for a
moment, and consider the phrase, “new beginnings.” What images come to mind? A
beautiful sunrise? A new baby opening his eyes to the world for the first time?
Spring? Easter Sunday morning? A chance to start again, when life has become
dark and difficult? Beautiful images, full of hope and promise.
For many,
Easter is filled with rabbits, eggs and baskets, but for others it signifies
the season of spring, of hope and renewal.
I’ve got to
tell you, Easter is one of my favorite holidays. The day reminds me that this
is a time of new beginnings, new starts and makeovers. It is no wonder that
Easter comes in the spring, a time when we work on our gardens, tilling the
soil and making way for new plants and vegetables. It is also a time when we
clean out closets, getting rid of the things that we no longer need or want.
Easter is a
great time to sit down and evaluate or reflect. Ask yourself; ‘Am I happy?’. If
no, perhaps try and identify the areas of your life that are making you
unhappy. It’s never too late to change! If you say ‘yes, I am happy’, perhaps
think about what it is that is making you happy and celebrate this.
The idea of a
fresh start is for some, the ultimate freedom. It can mean different things to
different people but it could mean doing something that you’ve always wanted to
do but never had the courage to do it. It could mean changing your thinking
which will help to change your behavior, remember: ‘Think positive, be
positive’.
You can be
empowered. You can have the fresh start that you have always wanted. You can do
anything that you want to do. It’s time to make a change.
