Guest guest Posted August 30, 2001 Report Share Posted August 30, 2001 Good Morning! Enter~ A New Beginning Well, it is that time again, Labor Day, the unofficial end to summer. If you are like me, the thoughts of summer ending can put me into a tail spin! Born on the first day of summer, constantly following the sun, I am most alive in this season of utmost Yang! Flowers in full bloom, the scent of fresh cut grass, the warm ocean and its tempting breeze all seem to put me in my most Zen-like state! The thoughts of letting go of all this can put me in a mild depression. It takes every fiber of my being to think positive, think ahead and conjure up ways in finding new beginnings instead of holding on to the past joys of summer. Alas, all those who can associate, we will pull through. A new beginning is a threshold of a new understanding! A new beginning is a way to mentally clean house and past activities-- and prepares the space in thought, for tomorrow's unseen situations. This can allow us to visualize qualities we wish to develop in ourselves. By assessing these qualities, we can determine if it will uplift our lives through making us a better person. As we grow in consciousness, we become more conscious of the greater plan for our life in the world. We attain a more universal overview of life. A new beginning can come from ideas that may come from outside sources--other people, magazines or the media. This may give us inspiration and allow a good solution to come to mind. A new beginning gives us the opportunity to contemplate all that is before us! We can take notes on ideas that come to mind. Writing down ideas while contemplating helps us evaluate the best course to follow. Look over your notes and decide the pros and cons of each idea before making an important decision. If we see a new beginning as progress in upgrading our consciousness through conviction to the virtues and truths we have decided to follow, we will more quickly be able to feel comfortable with the dawning of a new future and not look back, feeling depressed about what has been. As we upgrade our consciousness, our conscious decisions become more spontaneously for the best. Time spent in discovering a new start uses our mind optimally. Stirs our thoughts and sifts out the unwanted. Leaving just the right answer for us EACH TIME.
