Speaker 1 (00:00):
Each sunrise whispers the same invitation. Today you are free
to become who you choose to be, and that is
the thought for today. Welcome to Seven Good Minutes. I'm
Clyde Lee Dennis. Thanks for joining me for what I

(00:22):
believe will be seven of the most enriching minutes of
your day. In today's episode of Seven Good Minutes, we
talk about how to begin again every single day enjoy
every morning offers you something extraordinary, the chance to begin again,
not just to continue where you left off yesterday, but
to truly start fresh with new possibilities, renewed energy, and

(00:44):
a clean slate for creating the day you want to experience.
By the end of this episode, you'll understand how each
day is an opportunity for renewal rather than just continuation,
and you'll have practical ways to embrace this fresh start
mindset that can transform your entire approach to living. There's
something magical about the early morning hours before the world

(01:06):
fully awakens, when everything feels possible again. It's as if
the universe hits a reset button each night, clearing away
yesterday's limitations and offering you a blank canvas for today's masterpiece.
But so often we miss this gift because we immediately
dive back into yesterday's worries, unfinished business, and old patterns.

(01:28):
Beginning again doesn't mean ignoring your responsibilities or pretending yesterday
didn't happen. It means approaching today with fresh eyes and
open heart and the understanding that you're not bound by
yesterday's version of yourself. You get to choose who you
are and how you show up, starting right now. Think
about how nature demonstrates this principle. Every morning, the sun

(01:51):
rises as if it's the first time. Flowers open their
petals to greet the day with fresh beauty, birds sing
their songs with renewed energy. Nature doesn't carry yesterday's weather
into today. It responds to what is right now in
this moment. You have this same capacity for renewal. Yesterday's

(02:12):
mistakes don't have to define today's choices. Yesterday's mood doesn't
have to color today's experience. Yesterday's limitations don't have to
constrain today's possibilities. Each morning, you can consciously choose to
begin again. This doesn't require dramatic changes or grand gestures.
Beginning again can be as simple as taking three deep

(02:34):
breaths when you wake up and setting a gentle intention
for the day. It can be choosing to speak kindly
to yourself, even if you were self critical yesterday. It
can be deciding to approach a challenging relationship with fresh patience,
even if yesterday was difficult. Beginning again is about releasing
your grip on how things were and opening your hands

(02:55):
to receive how things could be. It's about trading the
weight of yesterday's disappointments for today lightness of possibility. It's
about choosing hope over habit, curiosity over certainty, growth over stagnation.
Sometimes beginning again means forgiving yourself for yesterday's imperfections. We
all have moments we wish we could handle differently. Words

(03:16):
we wish we could take back, choices we wish we
could remake. But dwelling on these moments keeps you trapped
in yesterday's story. Beginning again means acknowledging what happened, learning
from it, and then consciously stepping into today's fresh opportunity.
Other times, beginning again means releasing expectations about how today
should unfold. Maybe you had plans that fell through, goals

(03:40):
that feel overwhelming, or dreams that seem distant. Beginning again
means approaching today with openness rather than rigid expectations, allowing
space for surprises, detours, and unexpected gifts. The practice of
beginning again also applies to your relationships. Every interaction is
a chance to start fresh, to see people with new eyes,

(04:02):
to respond from your highest self rather than from old
patterns or past hurts. You can choose to greet your family, friends,
and colleagues as if you're meeting them for the first time,
bringing curiosity and kindness instead of assumptions and judgments. Beginning
again is particularly powerful when you're facing challenges or going

(04:22):
through difficult times. It reminds you that no matter how
hard yesterday was, today offers new possibilities for healing, growth,
and positive change. You're not stuck in yesterday's circumstances. You're
free to respond to today's opportunities. This mindset also transforms
how you handle setbacks. Instead of seeing a mistake or

(04:44):
failure as evidence that you can't succeed, you see it
as information that helps you begin again. More Wisely, every
ending becomes a new beginning. Every closed door reveals new
paths you hadn't noticed before. The key to Beginning again
is present. When you're fully here in this moment, you
naturally disconnect from yesterday's stories and tomorrow's worries. You become

(05:07):
available to the fresh possibilities that exist right now. You
remember that life is not a continuous stream of problems
to solve, but a series of moments to experience and
opportunities to grow. Beginning again doesn't mean you lose the
wisdom you've gained or the progress you've made. It means
you carry forward what serves you while releasing what doesn't.

(05:28):
You honor your journey while remaining open to new directions.
Each morning is a gift, the gift of another chance
to create, to love, to grow, to contribute, to experience joy.
When you embrace the power of beginning again, every day
becomes an adventure rather than just another day to get through.
That does it For today's episode of Seven Good Minutes,
