The Meaning of Making a Fresh Start
Prompt: What does making a fresh start mean to you?

=====

Fresh start has to do with the stuff we may be upset about or it has to do with dealing with our own regretful actions in a situation.

As I wrote earlier somewhere in this blog, at one point in my life, I decided to let go of regrets whether they had to do with the road not taken or the road taken. Since I am human, I am liable to regret both my actions and my inactions, but what does that serve? Nothing and no one.

Thus, no spilled milk for me. The only thing I can focus on is the lesson learned and the hope for the right mindset in the future.

For that end, I concentrate on becoming immersed in what I do without ruminating on regrets and beating on myself, so I can find a good amount of meaning in my days and a sense of satisfaction with life. This, I think is making a fresh start.

A fresh start may also happen when, to no fault of our own, someone hurts or disappoints us. In such a case, it is a good idea to let go of feelings of being unjustly treated and move on to greener pastures with other people. This, too, I consider a fresh start.
