I will be an optimist about this new year.
I won’t be making sure the year leaves, because the New Year isn’t any end or a beginning – it’s a continuation of life, and maybe some consider it as a new volume in life’s novel.
Surely this day brings opportunities our way, but I say that most of us use the chance in a wrong manner. We recall our past, our failures, our losses, and I do not say to ever forget the past!
However, dear friends, I say to never forget the past so it can shape your future. I mean to keep on trying. I mean, to seek potential. I want you all for once, instead of recalling the year 2014, the great losses, tragic events… I want you instead to think about your achievements, your goals, your future plans.
I do not make New Year Resolutions, nor do I ask anyone to. Because once you make a to-do list, the thing is, you either misplace it, or forget all about it, or even procrastinate for it. That is wrong!
Instead, why can’t we just wake up every day, and take the new day to be a new opportunity, a new chance, to discover, learn, and make new mistakes? Why can’t we set goals for just that day? That is much less work than planning the whole year ahead...
Why, why, do we just stick on to our past year's failures and losses, and stay in the darkness for God knows yet another year and another? Live for today, because yesterday is over, tomorrow is yet to come, but today is the present!
It is today which will form tomorrow, and tomorrow which will form the future!
