Every New Month comes with its blessings - Welcoming August 2018

Every day is a chance to begin again. Don't focus on the failures of yesterday, start today with positive thoughts and expectations.  We celebrate another year ending and a new one beginning. Let us look back and appreciate the experiences we had and learn from the mistakes we made.  Each day is a new beginning, the chance to do with it what should be done and not to be seen as simply another day to put in time.

1. As you begin to live a more positive life, it simply makes sense that you take a look at your dreams and goals to see if you are living in a way that will best allow you to accomplish them
2. Before any beginning, there needs to be a plan of how you are going to get to the end. If you do not create a plan, it is like deciding to play football without the ball.
3. You could consider a new beginning as the start of a new year. A fresh start, a new goal, a year to make your dreams come true. Be determined and persevere.

9. There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning.
10. The bad news is that most people give up; they settle for second best; they don't start over; they stay stuck. Please don't allow that to be you.
11. You need to learn from your mistakes to start a new beginning because if you stop then you will not able to accomplish your goals in life. 
12. Retirement is not just walking away from work; it is also walking toward something new.
13. Graduation is a time of completion, of finishing, of an ending, however, it is also a time of celebration of achievement and a beginning for the new graduate.
14. And as I rise to greet a new day, may I always remember the source of my abundance and wealth flows from deep within, and that no personor material resource can hinder this progress of peace, love, and joy.
15. No one can ever take your memories from you - each day is a new beginning, make good memories every day.
16. Everything begins at the beginning, and quite often the beginning begins when you shift your mind in a new direction.
17. Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
18. If you are struggling to live within your means, if you have limited financial resources to support your everyday needs and obligations, if your life is lacking in love and support, a sense of lack may prompt a desire for a fresh start.

24. All of us want to make changes in our lives, and while we should not have to wait until the beginning of a new year to make some of them, it's actually a very good time to make the change. It's truly a new beginning and it provides a launching point to boost the difference you are going to make.
25. Our life is an apprenticeship to the truth that around every circle another can be drawn; that there is no end in nature, but every end is a beginning, and under every deep a lower deep opens.
26. Today is a most unusual day, because we have never lived it before; we will never live it again; it is the only day we have.
27. Part of the process of beginning anew, or changing directions is to know where you want to go. I know this sounds simplistic and easy, but this is one of the most difficult of choices to make with clarity.
