Fresh starts

I often lack eloquence in regard to my speech and social interactions. But if attention is drawn to my social awkwardness or inadequacies, perhaps this impression will become more deeply implanted into people's minds. I would like people to allow me fresh starts. I then should give others the same grace. Do we have to carry the same weaknessess day after day? Although it may be common to continually struggle with particular burdens, do we have to be necessarily bound by those? If we treat others or ourselves with an "every day is a new day" approach in regard to weaknesses, would we be ignoring recurring problems that may need to be addressed?
