Change is always tough. Even for those who see themselves as agents of change, the process of starting a new thing can cause times of disorientation, uncertainty and insecurity.

Joining a new church and starting a new life is never easy and often frightening.

Every season, for me, it's like starting from scratch again.

No matter what mistakes you have made - no matter how you've messed things up - you can still make a new beginning. The person who fully realises this suffers less from the shock and pain of failure and sooner gets off to a new beginning.

Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically. The cataclysm has happened, we are among the ruins, we start to build up new little habits, to have new little hopes.

And suddenly you just know it's time to start something new and trust in the magic of beginnings.

Failure is the opportunity to begin again, only more intelligently.

Every man should be born again on the first day of January. Start with a fresh page. Take up one hole more in the buckle if necessary, or let down one, according to circumstances; but on the first of January let every man gird himself once more, with his face to the front, and take no interest in the things that were and are past.

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.

Failure brings a climax in which one has the privilege of clearing his mind of fear and making a new start in another direction.

What would it be like to be a white page, starting from the beginning with stories untold and memories unmade? To start with a blank slate and go from there?-Travis Thrasher, Broken

Tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it... yet.
