Life is full of beginnings. If we are not exploring new things, we are not trying, growing or learning.

Our movement through life is a series of beginnings, which we might face with hope, excitement or trepidation.  Each beginning opens a world of possibility.

Starting new means there is a chance you will not be good, will not succeed, will be embarrassed or judged (at least in your own mind).  But when we willing to take that step, there is promise.

Each time we meet someone for the first time, it is a chance for a wonderful relationship, a lifelong friendship, or a passing moment that is forever in our memory, inspiring or driving our actions.

Every trip starts with one step can can lead to a whole new world of foods, art, conversation and new perspective.

Every new school year or work position offers a chance to learn, develop knowledge, apply your skills, and knowledge, meet new people, perhaps even find a perfect fit.

Each new day is a chance to start fresh, to be different, better, more courageous, kinder, more creative – or simply more of the ‘you’ you want to be.

There are things and people that you will not want to keep in your life – but how would you know, for sure, with absolute certainty, if you did not take the chance and try?  If you did not step up to a new beginning. 

Take a chance.  That the first step.  Try something new.  You might find a new calling, a fun passion, a hidden skill,  a useful bit of knowledge.  At the very least, it will give you new memories and more insight into what you want to do and be.

 We are who we build from these beginnings.  Who you become is a result of a series of the first steps followed by the next and another after that.
