New Beginnings...

What makes someone take a second, third or fourth look at their life, evaluate where they are, encounter a life changing moment, and then move forward? The answer to that is unknown. However, everyone has those moments in their life; sometimes many times throughout their life. They come at the least expected and most needed times in your life. Although they are completely unexpected, a majority of the time they come at the last moment when you need a change the most. Even in times where you don't necessarily need a complete change in your life, you need a good kick in the seat of the pants to wake you from your sleep.


There is something incredibly mysterious about the year 2008. Every human being walking the face of this earth, at this point in time, has experienced life-changing events that they have never dreamed. Some setbacks to set-ups, some setbacks to a downward spiral to destruction, and others the most prosperous year of their life (very few though)!


I once studied that, "the number 8 itself means new birth or new beginning. The number 8 comes after the number 7 which means completeness." This will only mean something to you if you believe in symbolic time periods. There is something very interesting about the significance of time that most people do not recognize. If we merely walk through our lives without acknowledging we could be walking in a specific meaningful time, there is certainly no purpose to even believing that we are born for a reason. I personally am comforted in knowing that somewhere between the beginning and the end of my life I will make a difference in someone else's life and fulfill my dreams when the time is right.


With the knowledge of knowing this could be the year of new beginnings, there is so much possibility to grow and start something great that can in turn change your pathway in life and lead you into the most amazing journey. Life is short, unfair, unkind and unforgiving but yet one of the most ever changing. If you do not change or start your new beginning today because of fear or doubt, just wait to see the sunrise of tomorrow and have a little more faith then you did yesterday.
