Starting over is better than starting new. You can begin again even when you’re in the middle of something.
The middle part of any journey can feel boring or sad. But when you begin again, you accept where you are. Each new day in the middle is a step forward. It brings you closer to the end.
Beginning again isn’t just about days. It can happen in a minute or even a second once you truly understand it.
We use the word “always” on purpose. No matter where you are or what’s happening, good, okay, or bad, we always begin again.
This simple saying has changed many lives. When things go wrong, we lift our heads and begin again. When things go well, we celebrate and begin again.
As Saint Benedict wisely taught us: “ALWAYS we begin again.”
