new leases on life
Second chances granted
New leases on life are renewed reasons for living or fresh bursts of vitality.
The phrase treats life as rented property—when circumstances improve dramatically, the lease gets extended: The surgery gave him a new lease on life.
Often used after recovery from illness, escape from danger, or any transformative change that restores hope or energy.
