New beginnings.

Monday I am officially starting my new beginning. I spent this past week cleaning my room and getting rid of a LOT of my teaching things I had acquired. Some got thrown away, some were given to friends that are teachers, and some were donated. I am jumping into this new dream fullheartedly with determination. I will succeed. I will follow my newfound passion. I will not let others make me feel stupid, silly or irrational for going after this. Classes at the local uni will lead me to be able to apply to my "dream school" to make this happen. So, I found a lot of quotes that really hit how I feel, so I thought I'd share them with you. In case you are starting a new beginning too. :)

“There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting.”

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

“The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are.”

“So many fail because they don't get started - they don't go. They don't overcome inertia. They don't begin.”

“From small beginnings come great things.”

“Beginning is easy - continuing hard”

“Vitality shows in not only the ability to persist but the ability to start over.”

“The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want.”

Don't let your past decide your future.

‘If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’ And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

Once I started seeing through the eyes of my heart, instead of a socially conditioned lens, things started to transform dramatically.

No yesterdays are ever wasted for those who give themselves to today.

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.

It is no disgrace to start all over. It is usually an opportunity.

“Before the beginning of great brilliance, there must be chaos. Before a brilliant person begins something great, they must look foolish in the crowd.”

“All personal breakthroughs begin with a change in beliefs.”

“People have to really suffer before they can risk doing what they love.”
