Sometimes, we can get set in our ways. We
can also let our past dictate our current feelings about our future, even without
being aware of it. It is easy to become discouraged if you have had past
disappointments. It is important to remember that life can be a roller coaster
of ups and downs. We do not have control over so many aspects of our lives. So
a past failure or disappointment is no indicator of what the future will hold.
Making changes can be scary. It is reassuring to follow old habits, because they are known to us. Yet the unknown holds much promise. It is wise, and in fact fun once we get accustomed to it, to try new ways of doing things and new things to do. Fear of the unknown can cause us to put off making changes. Sometimes we tell ourselves that it is not the right time to start something new, that there will be a better time in the future. So we wait. But that “perfect” time never comes. The truth is that anytime is a good time to begin anew. It is that first step that can be the hardest part of changing, but remember, now is a great time to start. The perfect time will most likely not arrive. Anytime that the spirit moves us is the right time to begin.
