Happy New year

[I wrote the following text on 8th June, 2017. All parts of this text refer to that timeline, and have not be altered]

Who wishes ‘Happy New Year!!’ in the middle of June? A crazy person, that’s who! I take the role of that crazy person today. And with solid reasoning backing me. For a normal person, a new year is always closely related to new hopes, new dreams, new wishes, and new resolutions. People often pin their hopes on a ‘new beginning’ to bring about the changes that they wish for in their lives. These changes typically go against the person’s daily routine lifestyle – not so easy. Please note that I’ve only chosen the new year as a representative of a new beginning in one’s life. It can be a new job, a new marriage, or anything.

But take out this new year, and insert the middle of June (normal life) into the same scenario. “Oh! come on, it’s hard, and I lack motivation.”, or an answer on the similar lines is not uncommon. What magic does the new years’ time or a new beginning have here? The truth is that it doesn’t. It’s all in the mind. What if you or I could just tell our hard-wired mind that our new year begins today? From my experience, the answer is that we get the same drive and motivation.

I have also applied the same concept to deeper levels of my life. In situations where I was having a challenging day, I have told myself mid-day that my next 24-hours begin now. In essence, a brand-new potential-filled day stands right before me, and there is only a ‘now’ in this context.

With this start, the possibilities of what you could achieve with your new day or new year are endless. I wish you a happy new year!

[Thus, I start my 2019, and wish you a “tremendous” New Year – 2019 2020]
