With enough time on our journey, we learn that "the courage to begin again" is a core strength that we need to build so that at any time we can take a step forward with confidence and purpose. It’s learning that the fear of failure or past mistakes clouds our judgment. The courage to begin again means letting go of what no longer serves us and summoning the resolve to pursue what sets our soul on fire, even if it means starting from scratch. It’s not the easy path but that’s ok, we are resilient if nothing else. Whether we are rebuilding after a setback, reigniting a dream that’s gone dim, or simply choosing a new direction, our courage gives us the chance to rewrite our story. Let "the courage to begin again" remind us there is no shame in starting over—only strength. Each chapter of our life is filled with possibilities and a deeper understanding of who we are. Dare to begin again, not because we have to, but because we are brave enough to believe that the best is yet to come.

Loving life when I begin again
