No one can go back and make a brand new beginning, but anyone can begin now and make a brand new ending. Things don't always turn out the way we intended.  This is a fact of life.  We make mistakes, or other things happen that influence outcomes in a way we didn't plan.  Unfortunately, we can't go back in time and change the way things played out - unless you're Doctor Who and you have a Tardis that we don't know about. While most of us don't have a Tardis, we do have something better, the ability to start all over again and make a new beginning.  From that new beginning, we can create our different outcome.  And if that outcome isn't quite what we expected, guess what?  We can make another new beginning.

Give yourself a compliment, a smile or a pat on the back every day. You deserve it. For the most part, we're well brought up people. We say please and thank you, we hold doors for people and we compliment people on their appearance and a job well done. Our mom's and dad's would be proud of us.  These are all good things, but I think that sometimes, we get so caught up in doing the right thing and complimenting others, we forget about ourselves.  It's important to do the right thing for ourselves.  Does that mean we forget common courtesies toward others or not compliment them on a nice outfit or a job well done?  No, of course not, just remember to acknowledge yourself for a job well done as well.
