All’s Well that Begins Well | MWM
All Is Well That Begins Well = The word beginning speaks of anticipation—a fresh start. Your attitude on the front end of something new, determines your success on the back end. When you start something, begin with a positive thought. 






Beginnings are always hopeful—a fresh start, a new home, the birth of a child, a new job. There’s always an air of optimism that surrounds starting over with a blank slate—so much opportunity, potential and expectations for the future. You can determine to make a brand-new start from wherever you are now, today—and with the right start, you can have the perfect end.




The New Year is all about a new beginning—it’s why we are drawn to the extravagant celebration and festivities; it’s what keeps us up, counting down until midnight, to witness the start of our something new! But you don’t have to wait for the first of January each year to start over. If you aren’t satisfied with the way things are, change them—make a decision to begin again now.



In trying times, begin each moment with a positive thought. Today is your day to do anything you want! You may be feeling a sense of confusion or perhaps you're feeling a sense of positivity, whatever it may be, try to see the light in it.


Happy New Year! Just like that, another year has come and gone. Today is YOUR day to start fresh, create a new beginning. Take a few moments to yourself today and reflect on all you have achieved, mistakes or challenges you have faced and focus on how you want to continue to grow and invest in yourself this next year.

What Change is Born From
https://youtu.be/Qh04oZUuNSo
Have Hope For Change = John Maxwell begins his book, Change Your World, with the statement, “Hope has two daughters, anger and courage.” Anger at how things currently are, and courage to go make a difference. That is how we can change our world. 
We need to be angry about the unfair, injustices of the world. The things that won’t improve unless we are angry enough to do something about them. We need courage to stand up, declare that we want to make a difference, and do something about the issues. 
It is important to understand that before we can change our world, we have to change ourselves. Transformation doesn’t begin with others, it begins with yourself. The moment we make good decisions, embrace good values, and do our part to make a difference, we are able to help others make a difference also.
