To be born means to begin anew, and all of us want to begin anew.
When we know how to begin anew we get a lot more energy, joy and aspiration that can help us transform what is negative in us, and help us have more joy, more capacity to transform the situation around us.
To be born is a form of beginning anew. And that is why we should be able to be born as a new being at every moment of our lives.
There are people who may say, "I am too old to begin again." That is because they have not seen the true nature of life, of the practice of Beginning Anew.
We can practice Beginning Anew at any moment of our lives. To be born is to begin anew.
When you are three years old you can begin anew, and when you are sixty years old you can still begin anew, and when you are about to die, that is still time to begin anew.
We need to practice looking a little bit more deeply in order to see that Beginning Anew is possible at any time of our daily lives, at any age.
