A mantra is a sound, syllable, word, or group of words that is considered capable of "creating transformation".
Every Monday I will post a new thought, idea, or focus for the week. When you need a breather from life, when you need a little inspiration, or when you're about to jump over the conference table and strangle your co-worker, remember the mantra.
Monday Mantra: Every day is a new beginning

The world was supposed to end, several times now. It hasn't.
I'm here.
You're here.
We're all in this together.
Every day the sun rises, the sun sets. We wake, we eat, we work, we sleep. We spend time on things- good things, bad things, wasteful and unimportant things. On things that make us happy. Things that make us sad. We revolve, we change, we stop in our tracks. We look ahead and we look behind, and we forget that "right now" counts just as much as "then" and "soon".

We're all in this together. One decision you make, I make, someone we've never met makes, one decision can change everything. We can move back, long for the past, wish we'd done things differently. We can stand still, stop moving, freeze up in fear of the next unknown. Or we can move forward, find ourselves, find our purpose, find a new direction.

Imagine your life like a set of domino's, neatly lined up. The first one, the one that sets the rest into motion, is the most important. It's the one that will change everything. The one that leads to a chain reaction. The one that will make the biggest difference.

Find your first domino. It could be anything...maybe you need to move to a new place, to find a new job, to find a new life, and a new love. Maybe you need to talk to someone, to get help with something, to get ideas that will move you forward. Maybe you need to tell someone you care about them, tell them they matter, tell them to free yourself from the worry, the doubt, the what-if's.

Determine that first step, that first domino, and knock it over. Don't believe in should've, could've, would've. Believe in this, in now, in you and me and life. In doing the things that scare you, that push you, that force you out of your comfort zone. Believe in change and that we, all of us, are changing for the better.

One moment.
What will you change? What will you do to make you, to make your life, to make the world a better place? What will you change now that will change the rest of your life forever?
What will be your new beginning?
Happy New Year! Happy New You! Whatever your goals, your resolutions, your dreams- go forward and make them happen.
