Beginning They say - Life is nothing else but the death of past. God grant me the courage to change the things I can. Very Often in life when we are reminded that we are unfinished, that the story we have been telling ourselves about who we are and where our life leads is yet waiting to be written. Such moments come most readily at the beginning of something new. To begin anything — a new practice, a new project, a new love — is to force yourself against stagnation. To break the standard routine, standard thoughts, desires and also standard action Something that can only be done with great Courage and Honesty We always need to be brutally honest with ourselves about our present status, where we have become stagnant and where new beginnings may be. There can be no growth if we do not remain open and vulnerable to what is new and different. “Awaken your spirit to adventure, Hold nothing back, Learn to find ease in risk, Soon you will be home in a new rhythm, For your soul senses the world that awaits you.” At every new beginning, unforeseen things can emerge. New possibilities. New risks. New Adventure Part of the art of living wisely is to learn to recognize and attend to such adventures in one’s life.
