Each day, as I sit to write, I wonder what the night’s post will be about. On a couple of occasions, I’ve felt lucky—topics and words already lingered in my mind, eager to find a way out. Those days are a gift. The thoughts flow effortlessly, and the words fall into place as I push the keys. But then there are days when I sit and struggle, pushing the task forward, trying to find inspiration until it’s time to sleep, and I begin to scramble. Yet, I know I can’t go to bed without writing the post.
What I’ve come to realize in this process is that each day, I have to start over. What I wrote yesterday or even the day before becomes irrelevant. Each day asks me to begin again, to clear the slate and face the blank page with a fresh perspective. It’s as if every moment of creation has its own unique beginning, no matter how seasoned or experienced we become.
In many ways, it mirrors life. Every day we start again, not just with our work but with life itself. We get another chance to reset, to leave behind the baggage of yesterday’s failures, successes, or doubts. With a clean slate and a renewed outlook, we approach life with the possibility of new meaning, growth, and understanding.
This act of starting again is humbling. It reminds us that life isn’t about holding on to what was, but embracing the potential of what can be. It’s an opportunity to reframe, rethink, and reimagine how we want to show up in the world.
The beauty of starting again each day lies in its promise: no matter what happened yesterday, today offers another chance to be better, to be more present, and to live with purpose. And that’s why it matters—to start afresh is to continually evolve, creating new possibilities every day.
As Mary Anne Radmacher once said, “Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, ‘I will try again tomorrow.’”
