When the rain bestows its gentle drops on our skin, it reminds me of a cleansing which prepares you for a fresh beginning. The rain nourishes the earth and provides something essential that brings vitality and bountiful growth to the plants around. It also aids us in surviving on this earth. Many of us have been through terrible times and are seeking a fresh beginning. What that fresh beginning may look like from your perspective, may be entirely different than what's coming. We must open our hearts and minds to experience what God has in store for us. Though you may have been plagued by many unfortunate circumstances in life, life carries on. You are here because you were strong enough to release the grips of a deteriorating life, and step out in faith, now allow that faith to carry you and give you the fresh beginning that you deserve. Don't get caught up in things of no value, allow your past failures to be a lesson plan that you can use to catapult you to the next level in your purpose driven life.

Clear your mind of the unnecessary clutter, don't allow yourself to drift away. Be present in the moment and focus on a life that is filled with positivity. A fresh beginning will only remain fresh when you choose to fill your life with things that can uplift you, things of value, things that make your life feel worthwhile. Yes, there are a lot of negativity in the world, but choose to see the good in everything. Encourage, motivate, inspire as you go; when you do that you will reap exactly what you have sown. Life is beautiful, it is filled with lots of priceless moments that are irreplaceable. Fill your mind with the beauty that resides in everyday, the simple beauty such as the rising of the sun, the gentle breeze brushing against your skin. The carefree smile on the face of an innocent child, or the warm eyes of the elderly, are enough the remind you of your purpose, it is also a sweet and refreshing reminder of our priceless life.

Have a blessed week.
