With new beginnings, come various challenges that can neither be ignored nor negated. However, embracing the challenges that arise can yield wonderful results.

F. Scott Fitzgerald once said, "It's never too late to become who you want to be. I hope you live a life that you're proud of, and if you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start over." Often times, we are become so consumed and accustomed to what life is at that moment, we refuse to exit our comfort zone. The inability to leave a comfort zone and can hinder growth. Embracing the positivity in changes that occur can lead to new perspectives and successes that were once unimaginable.

The opening of one door often comes from the closing of another. With that being said, no flower can bloom without some rain. Change often comes after a hard or harsh ending of another situation. In doing this, we can not run away from change simply because it is unfamiliar. Rather, we must embrace the new trials that may come about.

Fresh starts are the beginning of a new journey. In doing this, we must generate a plan based on what we are trying to achieve. The journey will never be easy, but with the proper planning, anything is possible.
