Happy restart of our theoretical calendars that is. It's not like time restarted itself back to a year ago. What even is a year? Just a chunk of time that we put a name on. Really all we're celebrating is a new day. And what even is a day? The sun coming up. This day really isn't any different from yesterday. We don't have a new sun coming up now. It's the same sun we've had for centuries. But then again, what is a century?
Alright, enough of the questions. To use the language of the now, Happy "New Year" and I hope you have a great one... heck I hope the rest of your entire life is just swell, why only limit it to a year?
Of course what is me saying "have a great year" going to affect? Probably nothing. You're not going to make it a priority to have a great year because I just told you so. In fact, I don't WANT you to make it a priority. Don't have a Happy New Year. Have a Happy New Day. I want you to enjoy each day individually and find something awesome in between all the scrapes and scars you might collect along the way. So yeah! Don't have a Happy New Year. Have a Happy Collection of Individual Days, and when another year has passed, I want you to be able to look back at some of those days you experience and say, "yeah, that was a great one."
Go have that.
As for resolutions, I also don't see much point in those. Why do we all try to make one at the beginning of the year? Resolutions are things that should be come up with from a mix of deep thinking, impulse, sudden changes, constant reminders, and surges of motivation. If that happens for you around this time, then great. But I make resolutions when they come to me and I know I'm ready and equipped for them. This could be any time of the said year, because things that make a resolution - inspiration, motivation, dedication, can often die when forced and are not bound by our rule of time.
I hope you accomplish goals this year, and I'm sure you will. I hope you make great progress in things, but I'm sure in other things you may fall back and have regrets. It happens to everyone, just remember that nothing is a complete failure, because you can learn something from virtually everything.
What would be a failure is you failing to apply what you've learned from past mistakes. Mistakes are a hard earned gift, don't just throw them away. So make goals any time, accomplish them some time, make mistakes, apply learning, and always look to the next day. The future is a big blackish thing to look at and most times you won't get anything out of staring at it all day. So just look to the next day and know that the same old sun is going to rise, and that there's always time for love.
Off the top of my head, here's what I learned this past year:
1. It doesn't matter who they are, where they've come from, or what they've done, all people in this world matter because they were made for a purpose whether we know that purpose or not, so its best to treat them that way.
2. Apparently Taylor Swift has no belly button.
CARPE DIEM EVERYONE!
STAY MAJESTIC.
