September often holds feelings of new beginnings.
The dryness and heat of summer are ending,
holidays are over – new ideas and creativity start to bubble up.
These thoughts in mind
I looked at what ‘wisdom’ had to say.
Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.
Seneca
There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth……..
not going all the way, and not starting.
Buddha
New beginnings are often disguised as painful endings.
Lao Tzu
Be willing to be a beginner every single morning.
Master Eckhart
Some of us think holding on makes us strong, but sometimes it is letting go.
Herman Hesse
Perhaps new beginnings are more important this year than most.
