Audacity of Hope

So, the new year is here, meeting you with its overextended arms and whispering hope for another year of possibilities.

Isn’t it true that each New Year's morning, you feel inventive and the air redolent with a fragrance of wonder? I marvel if our mind experiences an actual ‘shift’ to recognise a new year. Or try this, maybe the new year is a time when we collectively outpour the belief that fresh events will originate magically and with ferocity that we feel invincible?

According to planetary movements and scientific understanding, the Earth completes one revolution around the sun during this time. Some also argue that the new year is an arbitrary marker of time, given Earth is daily orbiting on this axis. Regardless, it has symbolic significance for making resolutions – a chance to put out the plans ahead, trial ideas and embrace new learnings. It is a time to set new goals and act towards the life you want to live. Also, a reminder to be grateful for all the blessings as you spend holiday time with your family & friends when days seem shorter and celebrations indulgent.

The origins of New Year’s celebrations are traced back to the early civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Babylon where the New Year was a time of renewal, reflection, and celebrations.

Choosing to be Intentional -

This new year, I am choosing to be intentional and focusing on authentic productivity rooted in abundance and purpose. It is also a time for restoration and exploration and reminding myself that self-love is important so I can then go out into the world and share happiness with others who are part of my inner circle.

I am committed to prioritising health and doing purposeful work that makes me thrive. ?

I will be mindful of slowing down to notice the world around me with a sense of wonder and waggishness gifted to us as children, explore new ideas, travel to new places, and be present for my loved ones who truly matter.

I am observant that fear is temporary and stops bothering you after you take the first step to do the task you were overthinking.

I will embrace people who vibrate success and opulence that bounces me to aim higher.

I will read books that were bought and dawdling on the fireboard and limit the distraction of digital platforms.

I will smile more and realise that by that simple action, I become an open conduit for all of life’s energies to pass through so I can tap their full potential.?

so my friend, keep holding space for the serendipity and see your life soar..

Balancing confidence with gratitude and this new year amongst us, I invite you to share your reflections and the hope you have for this year…
