Good morning my friends,
The other day I was sitting and looking up at the mountains and thinking of the season of fall coming up that will soon turn to winter. In a way this brings some desire to see the summer continue and in a wistful way wish that it could all be lived again. The flowers popping up to delight us. The soothing cool breeze flowing over the face on a hot summer night. The warmth of the landscape as morning turns into day.
And then the thought occurred to me that every ending is a new beginning. And every beginning is a new chance at life or health or love or just about anything that we can imagine. And the progression continues, creating new things every time another phase ends.
To me this means a lot. When we face trials in our lives, they usually have a distinct beginning and a distinct ending. We have to spend our time going through that phase in our lives but sooner or later it ends and a new phase begins.
So often what we do during the current phase in our lives determines what will happen when we reach that new beginning. It’s important to remember that each ending builds on the next new beginning. And I think it’s important to look to that new beginning when we go through those rough patches in our lives for a variety of reasons.
It reminds us that life will someday be different. It gives us the hope we might need to get through the current condition by understanding that a new beginning awaits us. That something different is indeed on the horizon. We find strength in the idea that we WANT to make it to that new beginning.
Thing is, we can sometimes get discouraged as we wait for the new phase in our world. We can begin to believe that there is no end to the trials that we currently face. But really, a new beginning can also be something that lives within the mind. It can simply be a new perception on what is already there and in this way it can indeed create an ending to the negative and the beginnings of the positive.
And so to me it seems that so long as we try to build a positive outlook for the next phase in our lives then we might just shape that new beginning in advance. We might actually be able to turn the tide of our lives simply by believing that we can.
So the next time you feel like you need a break. The next time it seems like your current problems will never end, take a moment to think of the new beginning that is right over the horizon. Live the idea that it is there and if things seem to be dragging on then build that new beginning in your own heart.
Cast aside the old feelings because the moment you do, you will have created a kind of ending and then there’s a new slate for that new beginning and really, it’s completely up to you how that beginning will be.
Have a fantastic new week!
Chuck
