Although everyday marks a new beginning, we often look at new days with old eyes. Today is a day that we have never seen before, with new opportunities and possibilities that were made possible by our yesterdays. However, without fresh eyes and a new outlook, all our days begin to look the same. Anything is possible today and everything can change in an instant. Change can happen to us, or we can make changes in the way we live, act, and interact with the world around us. The power of perspective is amazing, and we have the power to change our lives by changing our perspective.
Yes, fresh eyes are needed to see today’s potential, so get the red out, clear the sleep from your eyes, and see today in all its splendor. Yes, some things may not be going well, and you may not have all that you feel you need to survive and thrive, but today you have another opportunity to change and rearrange things in your life. Don’t give in to the pull of yesterday, and don’t simply hope for a better tomorrow, but use your power to begin and finish today well. Each day will begin and end, but our challenge is to discipline ourselves to begin and end well.
Our challenge is to approach each day as an opportunity to have a new beginning. Do something new today. Look at old problems through new eyes. Look at your relationships with new love and appreciation. Discard old things, habits, and viewpoints that keep you stuck in past pain and grief, and let’s discipline ourselves to see the gift of today. It is never too late to have a fresh start, and our success depends on our disciplining ourselves each day for new beginnings.
