What New Year?!


Having scrolled my entire newsfeed and reading all the kissing 2013 goodbye and welcoming 2014 posts, I couldn't help but wonder what is the big deal about a mere set of numbers that have been attributed some significance (otherwise known also as "time") by Man?

What I find even more amusing is reading the posts published few days ago on how people want to change their lives on the 1st of January 2014.

Why would the new year begin today? Why must change be conditioned to take place only after the 1st of January? Why attribute so much significance over a set of numbers? If you want to change your life, change it now! Why wait?


There is no rule that says you can only change your life for the better only on the 1st of January! If you can identify any habit that no longer serves you, just rid them there and then. What is there to wait for the 'New Year'? Every day is a New Year. In fact, you are presented with a clean slate every single second of your life and it is you alone who can decide what you want to draw on it.

Cherish every moment. Celebrating the 'New Year' is not about fireworks and resolution. The New Year in anyone's life begins with the self! You can go through a hundred New Years without any positive significance if everything is only lip service. Start walking the talk today.

I'm not a believer or a fan in celebrating a worldly New Year, but all the same, have a blessed 2014 to all of you.

Love and light,
Genevieve.
