Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end. When you can no longer think of a reason to continue, you must think of a reason to start over. And there are three little words that can release and guide forward. These words are “From now on…”
So, "from now on" I will...
1. Let the things I can’t control go, most things are only a part of ones life because you keep thinking about them. Positive things happen in your life when you emotionally distance yourself from the negative things. Stop holding on to what hurts, and make room for what feels right. Do not let what is out of my control interfere with all the things I can control.
2. Accept and embrace reality. – Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. For everything you lose, you gain something else and for everything you gain, you lose something else. You don’t have to like it, but it’s just easier if you do.
3.Change my mind. – Change is like breath, it isn’t part of the process, it is the process. In reality the only thing we can count on is change. Prepare for positive. Prepare for new. Growth is impossible without change. If you cannot change your mind, you cannot change anything in your life. Look at things from a different perspective.
4. Hold tight to the good things.
5. Rest and regroup. – Strength is about choosing your path, living with the consequences, and learning from them. Sometimes you do your best and end up with a mess. You tried. That’s really all you can ever do. You have not failed, you just learned what not to do. So rest, regroup, and begin again.
6. Take chances. – Making a big life change or trying something new can be scary. But what’s even scarier? Regret. realizing that most fears are much bigger in my mind than they are in reality. I won't let them stop me. I'm not going to live a life to regret the chances never took, the love never let in, and the gifts never gave out.
7. Keep climbing. – Every person who is at the top of the mountain did not fall there from the sky. Good things come to those who work for them. Gain confidence, grow stronger, experience, experiment and push to do the things I didn’t think I could and If it should take long to climb.... I gotta remember to accept that moment and breath... its okay to stop for a while and enjoy the view.
8.Appreciate what I've have learned.– Nothing is more beautiful and powerful than a smile that has struggled through the tears. No regrets, even when moments that were filled with hurt. Smile because I learned from it and gained the strength to rise above it. In the end, it’s not what you have been through that defines who you are, it’s how you got through it that has made you the person you are today, and the person you are capable of being tomorrow.
9. Realize every step is necessary. – Nothing is ever wrong. We learn from every step we take. Whatever you did today was a necessary step to get to tomorrow. Be proud. Maybe Im not as good as I want to be, or as great as one day will be but thanks to all the lessons learned I'm on my way.
