New Year

So what happens now? New year. How do things change? How can anyone expect one whole year to be good? I, for one, know that it won’t be. Come to  think of it, I can even mention some thing that will go wrong this year. So what is all the excitement about? I will make some friends and lose some like I did last year. So what will make this year different?

It is the hope that better things are coming. The hope that even tough there is suffering ahead but, maybe there is a greater happiness. Each one of us, some consciously other unconsciously, said a small prayer in their heart as they stepped into the new year. And everybody asked, or rather hoped for the same thing.  Here’s my prayer

‘I know that I have had some bitter thing happen last year. And I am not naïve enough to believe that the next year wont have bitter experiences. But I have faith in myself  that I will grow spiritually and emotionally this year, so that the things that bother me today won’t trouble me by the end of the coming year’

Take life one day at a time. One good deed a day.  Don’t make a resolution. Instead set a realistic goal. Work hard to accomplish it. And start on the first day. If on 1^st Jan you couldn’t do what you promised yourself, you wont ever be able to.

Live life fully. You never know which day is your last. Forget money for a while and be different. Learn to help people. Let go of the fears that are holding you back and explore something new. Let today be the day you change, not this year. Then only will this year be a good one. Good things won’t come to you, you’ll have to work to get to them.
