With Every New Hour Comes a New Beginning

With Every New Hour Comes a New Beginning

“Each new hour holds new chances for new beginnings.

The horizon leans forward, offering you space to

place new steps of change.”

 Maya Angelou 1928 - 2014, African-American Author,

Poet, Dancer, Actress, Singer

As I see it. . . . . . .

With every new hour comes a new beginning

With every new hour of your life holds the possibility of change . . . . and the opportunity for new beginnings.

Many of your biggest opportunities will seem insufficient at the moment they appear. But any one of them has the potential to change the course of your life . . . . and create a new beginning.

You have to be receptive to change . . . . to new opportunities . . . .  and  as they appear  grasp them.

Look at your opportunity with an open mind . . . . and welcome the change . . . . and opportunities into our life.

As you bring change and new beginnings into your life the horizon of your future moves closer to you . . . . and your possibilities increase.

You create the path of change and new beginnings with an open mind.

Welcome the opportunities as they appear in your life . . . . and turn that change into the pathway to a brighter future.

With every new hour comes a new beginning . . . . and in each new beginning there are new opportunities.

When You Get a Second Chance . . . . Take It

When You Get a Second Chance . . . . Take It

“We’re given second chances every day of our life,

we don’t usually take them, but they’re

there for the taking.”

Andrew M. Greeley 1928 – 2013, Irish-American Priest,

Sociologist Journalist, Novelist

As I see it. . . . . . . .

When you get a second chance . . . . Take it

Second chances are presented to you everyday of your life. But in the first blush what is the second chance will be disguised.  

To see your second chances you have to have an open mind and an attitude of what can be possible . . . . and not one of what was.

Forward thinkers will see their second chances where others just walk by them.

Your second chances may be dressed working clothes and all you may see at the time is the hard work . . . . and the pain of your past setback. If you are looking behind yourself you’ll not see or recognize the second chance that is in front of you, because you’re looking in the wrong place.

You have look past your previous setbacks and look forward to what you can make of your future and you will see the second chance.

A second chance gives you the chance to pick up the prices in your life. You have the opportunity to start over again from where you are today and in starting over you change your future and create new results.

In order to take advantage of a second chance your mind has to be open to the possibilities and your eyes open to see them.

Look at your second chance as a new lease on life. Grasp the second chance and the opportunity it offers with all the passion in your heart and turn your second chance to the fuel to put you into the winner’s circle of life.

When you get a second chance . . . . Take it . . . . and make the most out of it.
