There is a scene in Drumline where the President of the University is so excited about the band's new modern sound and what it could do for the University's fundraising, that he shouts "New Beginnings!" Then he repeats that phrase but the stress of "Beginnings" is on the "BEGIN" sound..."New Beginnings...New BEGIN-nings!" Something about it has always made me chuckle and it stands out in my mind, but maybe there is something more to it.
A concept I'm learning as I turn 40 today, on June 29,2021 is that sometimes to have a "New Beginning" I can get caught up on everything else but, the part where I actually "BEGIN." I plan, I research, I overthink it and by the time it's time to start, life, work, and other obligations get in the way and diminish that opportunity to have a "New Beginning." Sometimes you just have to BEGIN.
Below is a clip of the performance that got him so excited about the New Beginnings...New BEGINnings!
