I got the idea for writing this post while listening to a Taylor Swift song (insert laughter/joke here). Yes, I happen to enjoy the occasional song by Ms. Swift. By no means is this post meant to change the world or is it meant to provide some great insight into an educational problem. It is however, meant to encourage and motivate you.The song is titled "Innocent," and there was one particular line that struck a cord with me...
"Today is never too late to be brand new"
I highly doubt this line was meant for educators, however I believe it has a ton of relevance for people of all walks of life.
If you are anything like me, you have most likely made a mistake (or several in my case)...
You have most likely done something not quite as well as you would have liked...
You most likely know people who don't really know the "true" you...
You most likely could use a "fresh" start in some aspect of your life...
The good news is..."Today is never too late to be brand new!" Take this opportunity to reflect and find a part of your life, either professionally or personally, that seems to be lacking or untrue to yourself, and make a change. This quote by Anne Frank sums it up quite well:
"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve"
