Every Day Is a New Beginning

One of the most terrifying yet beautiful things I have learned is that nothing is permanent. Every day we are granted is a chance for change. It is never too late to do what makes you feel the most alive, regardless of anything. I know that change can be scary, but it can also be one of the most incredible things in your life because there is a whole world out there filled with endless possibilities waiting for you and what you have to offer. Whatever aspirations you have, this is your sign to go for it. Nothing is impossible. You can literally do anything you set your mind to. There is nothing better than change and rebuilding your life no matter what stage you are in, where you come from, or where you have been. You are in control of your story. Whether you believe it or not, your voice and story matter. 

No matter how broken or stuck you feel in the moment, nothing is permanent. Let go of all the things that do not bring you peace. I know it’s easier said than done, but you will realize the beauty that comes with a new beginning, closure, and accepting that things did and did not happen for a reason. I feel that the universe always works for you, not against you. You still have a voice and mind that you can use to shift your life into a new pathway and this can lead to discovering and loving you. No matter how impossible it seems to get up and decide what will benefit you, many doors are waiting to be unlocked that are filled with new stories, new people, new love, and new lessons. It will honestly be one of the most challenging things and most beneficial things in your life. If that means setting boundaries with relationships that don’t make you feel loved, heard, and seen, then do it because, at the end of the day, you decide what is best for you, not others. I hope that the new mornings and beautiful sunsets serve you as a reminder that it’s okay to start over. Nothing is meant to stay the same. 

All of your past choices, mistakes, successes, and silent battles will prepare and lead you to wherever you need to be. We often get so attached to the idea of being someone that the external world will love but know that who you truly are will attract the people that are meant to be in your life. But for now, first, validate and honor yourself. Give yourself credit for getting out of that dark place that can hold you back. Your story is valid; you are an inspiration that can offer so much wisdom into this world, even if you don’t have things fully figured out yet. You are still here trying your best, even if it doesn’t always feel that way. I hope that this serves you as a reminder that it’s never too late to start over and get out of your comfort zone and go after everything you can dream. Remind yourself of your worth and that you can do anything you set your mind to. Every day is truly a new beginning.
