A few years ago a gentleman stepped on to the top of the Bridge and preparing to jump. Cars started stopping and the traffic backed up for miles. The police arrived with the fire department, ministers and mental health professionals. They began talking to the man and telling him not to jump but he wouldn’t bother.
About half a mile back in traffic was an elderly gardener got out of his truck and walked up to where the crowd was gathered. He made his way through the people, looked at the man and said, "Hey, I got to go to work. Either jump or get off the bridge. If you decide not to jump, tomorrow is going to be better!"
After hearing this, the man climbed down the bridge. The police handcuffed him and placed him in the back seat of the police car. The gardener walked back to his truck waiting for the traffic to move.
All the way to the hospital, the man kept saying over and over, "Tomorrow is going to be better."
Have you ever wished you could “begin again”?

Have you ever wished you could “begin again”?
This year 2013 is a ‘begin again’ season after the much awaited Apocalypse on December 21st 2012. We’ve all experienced our share of errors, failures, disappointments, complications, betrayals, missed opportunities and we have an endless list of “enough is enough”. We all have things that we would do differently if given a second chance. What wonderful news to know that, in this new year 2013, the slate is wiped clean and we do have the opportunity to begin again.
There are many who have become weighed down by debt wish they could get financially independent.
There are many who have become emotionally depressed by circumstances wish they could break the emotional bonds and start anew.
There are those who have become morally deviated or perverted indulging in eve teasing and rape and murders wish they could set right their path.
There are those who were deprived of their rights wish they could rise against the oppressors and regain their rights.
It’s always refreshing to start anew. We need strength and motivation to keep the momentum until the end.
One must see a future, to have a future. In order to begin again, we require a “WHY” to live for. Oscar Wilde wisely said,
“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars”.
