New Beginning
Many of us get excited at the beginning and at the end of each year. This period brings us the feeling of a new beginning, which it seems like we always desire.
We are filled with enthusiasm and excitement because we feel that the next year we can do better, despite everything so far. We decide to "leave" everything bad in the old year and start a brand new one.
But is this actually possible, and how can we harness the power of January First?
One Year
This week officially begins New Year 2023. The truth, however, is that the world existed 5 000 thousand years ago. We also have evidence that life existed on Earth hundreds of millions of years ago.
And I am not saying that we should update our calendar to year 4 532 156 449 (which would be a much more accurate reflection of the actual origin of our planet), but that perhaps there is a better perspective.
A current calendar year actually shows one Earth lap around the Sun. In this time, the distance between the two celestial bodies is constantly changing, which directly affects the length of the day and the night on our planet.
One Day
The different phases of the day exist because of the continuous motion of the Earth around itself. But during all 365 days the sun rises, gives us its energy and sets. And all the living creatures conform to this cycle and organize our time according to it.
For most animals and plants, however, it does not matter whether today is Monday, Friday or Sunday. The month does not matter to them either. The only thing they care about is how easily they can get energy today, which they also try to use in the best way.
They appreciate every sunrise and for them every day presents an abundance of opportunities. Every day is also a chance to do better than yesterday. And every day is a new beginning.
One Decision
Most of us humans get the energy we need on a daily basis very easily. And maybe this is why we waste it on all kinds of things with even greater ease, instead of focusing it on the most important ones - our health and the things we desire the most.
Yes, the period around each new year is inspiring, but there is no point in waiting for the next January First, because it actually happens every day. And if we decide to escape the constraints of concepts like year, month, and week, and instead focus on the current 24 hours, we can be much more productive.
This attitude will also help us learn how to be grateful, and lead a more conscious life every day, here and now. Then we will understand that we cannot leave anything in the past, be it a year or a day, if we keep thinking about it.
One Wish
Every day can be a new beginning for the desired change, a new beginning to start a positive habit, and a new beginning to take a different direction - that of our dreams!
Therefore, may the next lap around the sun be filled for you with health, self-confidence and determination in making your wildest wishes come true.
Fill your days with accomplished goals and even more stories of success, adventures and spectacular achievements.
Value every day and your time in it, investing it only in positive emotions, and above all in yourself.
