We may be past the point of New Year’s resolutions, yet, this ‘live better’ culture of ours never stops reminding us that with each and every passing moment –floops, and there goes another one! – we are potentially squandering some precious opportunity to live our best life. I am wholly guilty of this – sharing the ‘live your best life’ message with all and sundry, and subscribing to it, too. I do, sincerely, find the notion of making fresh starts deeply comforting. Every minute of our lives we are given the chance to do something that bit more kindly, gently, well. This isn’t about getting any closer to perfection, but rather about empowering ourselves to trust that we really can steer and shape our lives in ever more positive and helpful ways.
