"A Fresh Start"

It doesn’t matter when we start;

It doesn’t matter where we start;

It doesn’t matter how we start;

All that matter is that we start…..

Ladies?& Gentlemen here is what I want to ask: In the month of December, how many of us were assailed by this banal question ‘What is your New Year resolution or goal?’

When I was asked this question I laughed and said, “I wish I knew…”

Today I am telling you the truth.

I did not have any New Year resolutions or any specific goal to achieve so far in my life.

I never had any and will never make any…

Oh does it sound “into your face” statement? But just pause and think for a minute, how many times you have promised yourself something and have seen it through to the end of the year? (Even science has confessed resolution don’t last more than a month). Joining gym is one of the biggest example !

No, don’t answer that. We all know the truth. At this point I am reminded of Mark Twain famous quote: “Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I have done it thousands of times.”

A study reveals that nearly half the population indulges annually in this happy activity of drawing up New Year determinations. Of course, it is meant to create a feeling of doing away with the bad and welcoming the new; that you banish all of yesterday’s downs in your life to begin once again.

Yet, what we say has little impact on the day after the New Year party! This year can we resolve ‘Not to make a resolution?’. This year let us decide to make the best of what life throws at you and make the best out of whatever able to us. Can we do that?

Every New Year gives us a chance for a fresh start, we enhance our lives and to make our living better. Each year gives us a new slate and it is up to each of us to write our own story.

When January flips out a new page, it holds the promise of novel possibilities, moments full of vibrancy and hope.

To that I want to say:?

Exercise daily, as always (atleast thrice a week)

Read! Read! Read! - There is no better way to expand your horizon.

Get more organized. Well, this is one area all of us can improve however organized you already are.

Invest your hard earn money wisely with pinch of risk in it - for ex: become an investor in stock market and not trader. Just see stock market performance of last 10 years in the link below

Learn a new skill – Launch your University of ‘Me’ immediately

Consume maximum intellectual content on daily basis to promote your imagination and creativity. Read books – Watch meaningful videos – listen to inspiring podcast – converse with positive humans (Well like me ??)

Invest your time wisely (Don’t waste even a single minute in unwanted discussion, chat or activity)

Carry a single motto now and in the coming times. Be Growth Oriented! “You can always become more than what you are today

And lastly, wait for life’s surprises, both pleasant and unpleasant. Therein lies the magic of living. No life is perfect and don’t try to perfect it – it just never happens

World will not value you until you start valuing yourself by compelling in doing things in what you enjoy.

And for self-valuation you need to stretch your imagination like an actor does to its character.

Remember every New Year is like a blank slate to craft your inspiring story.

Story to leave behind your legacy.

Are you ready with your Pen & because slate is already blank!
