Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:13‭-‬14 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/mat.7.13-14.KJV

For a very long time, I wanted to be a professional writer. I had this dream of writing something great one day. I was just a kid then. I knew I could not afford to do something like that because it cost money to get anything like that done. When you are a kid, dreams seem so far out of reach, and they seem like they will never come true, so, they become forgotten about; put on the back burner if you will. I never thought about it again, but I would find something to write about even if it was just copying down a poem that I liked.

Now, as the years went by, I realized I had been given a great talent that I knew could take me places in the world if I was ever to write something great. Just thinking about that back then, I had to have some strong faith. I always did reports in class in which required a lot of writing. That is where I developed my writing skills. I had to learn how to use my words correctly so my grammar would flow like it should. There is a lot to writing; it is not easy as it looks. There is a lot of editing and rearranging of sentences. Words must be spelled correctly. When writing, there must always be a rough draft just in case something needs to be rearranged until the final draft is ready to be written.

Well, I have had my share of writing for others in the past, now it is time to start writing for myself. Now that I have written my first book, my dream has finally come true. It is so amazing to know that I am a professional writer just like I always wanted to be. This is a new beginning for me in my life. I am embracing all of the new beginnings in my life. I have something to look forward to, something I can be proud of. I am proud of myself for what I have accomplished. I can see my dream with my own eyes and hold it in my hands. I can carry it with me wherever I go. I can take pictures with it and tell everyone about it. I can share it on social media. I can share my dream with the whole world.

Embracing new beginnings can be scary just as well as exciting. Whenever someone does something new that they have never done before can be a bit a bit unnerving. When things like that happen, we have to know that it will pass and everything will be alright.

I will not be afraid to embrace new beginnings. Everything that happens new in my life, I will embrace. I will embrace new challenges. I will be the best new me in my new beginnings. For as long as I write I will have new beginnings and fresh starts. I cannot wait to see what awaits me in the coming new year.
