Whenever we have a new opportunity thrust at us to right a wrong, begin again at a new job or just fix something in our lives that went wrong many times we are to frightened to grab hold of it. We shouldn't be! New beginnings are such a great way to grow as human beings.

Many times in life we are given opportunities to make a fresh start. It can be a new job, it can be an old relationship that went bad, it can be any number of things that fall into our lives. Sometimes we are too blind to see the opportunity. Sometimes we are not strong enough to grab hold of the opportunity. Sometimes it could be simply the fear that prevents us from grabbing hold of the opportunity for fear that we may fail, once again.

Recently i was given the opportunity to renew my relationship with my daughter. Our relationship had a huge falling out because of my personal problems. I don’t blame her one bit for being angry with me. I was completely out of line, in fact, I think I was completely out of my mind. That was two years ago and things have changed in my life and I have been given this beautiful opportunity to improve our relationship and make it stronger than ever before.

In all things in life, when we are given an opportunity to make things in our lives better it behooves us in our growth as humans to take hold of it, grab it with every thing we have got and put 110% effort into the endeavor. This isn't only for our own benefit, but also for the people whose lives we touch. It should not be selfish or self serving, but selfless and done out of care

or love. It doesn't matter whether it’s a new job or repairing damage to an old relationship. The point is if you are given an opportunity to make your life or someone else's life better you should make the most of it.

Life is way too short to spend dwelling on past grievances. We must continually make an effort to take the necessary steps to move forward in our lives. Moving backwards never did anyone any good and certainly serves no positive outcome or purpose. It may be hard, and you may be scared, I know that I am. However, I refuse to give up and you shouldn't either! I want the things in my life to be fruitful and I refuse to allow my past mistakes to hinder me or make me afraid of grabbing hold of that beautiful jewel that has been thrust at me unexpectedly, because that is how opportunities arise. Always unexpected, never planned, but always a wonderful opportunity to right a wrong, make something better or just simply improve our selves as human beings.
