Sometimes when we reflect back on our lives we might reflect negatively on those things that we didn't do or the mistakes we made. Such negative reflections can cause us to look upon the inventory of our past actions with regret. We may say to ourselves, “I wish I would've done things differently” or “I should've taken more risks when I was younger”.

In reality, there is nothing that we can do about the past. Perhaps in the future when there is time travel this may become an option, but for now altering the past is far from reality.

We are fortunate though, in that we have the opportunity to do something about our future from this moment on. From this moment on we can start to create a better life by taking actions that we can look back on and be proud of. This is a universal reality for all of us, regardless of our age or where we are in life.

So what can we do to “start from now and make a brand new ending”? One way to do this is to set the tone for your day at the start of your day. When we wake up in the mornings we can ask ourselves this simple question, “how do I want to remember this day”. Something as simple as this may be all you need to start now to create the life you want.

 
Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending – Anonymous
