START YOU UP

After writing today's subheading 'Absolute Beginnings' I got super distracted listening to David Bowie. If you are seeking a six minute distraction, I really enjoyed this gem. I so love David Bowie and his voice is on full display in this BBC live performance.

Today is both a question for you and a nod to my focus for April. I have been inspired by a few people who are exploring new beginnings in their lives and have asked me how they should start? It's a lonely and scary process that is equally exciting, full of promise and loaded with ambition. Sweet and Sour - a winning combination when you get the balance right.

For those of you on that journey, or contemplating it: what are you struggling with, trying to optimize or keen to learn?

For those of you not on that journey, why not? Is there something in the back of your mind that might want to come out and play? Is there something in your life already that is a new beginning that you might be able to support more? A new opportunity to expand your role, your horizons or even just your thinking?

"The more things change the more they stay the same" is a troubling observation. Side note: this is a translation of “plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose“ from French writer Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr. In a world of constant and lately overwhelming change: are you evolving or are you stubbornly sticking to the habits and practices of your lifetime?

Perhaps it is time for your own new beginning?
