A Year Begins, and Life Continues

For the past 26 years I’ve seen it come and go… Whether it was partying with friends, Emceeing a jam, or even, as pathetic as it may sound, sitting in a movie theatre, the clock counted down and we entered a new year.

New Year?

I’ve thought a lot about how we all celebrate this one second when the world seems to all of a sudden change. It’s just another day, yet our resolutions and goals seem to say otherwise. What’s the difference?

The difference is…

We all have a common belief that this is a fresh start… a new beginning… a ‘reset’ button and whether it ‘technically’ is or isn’t is irrelevant, because the fact of the matter is that we’ve decided it that this so called ‘New Year’ allows us to make changes.

Personally, I’ve done so. I’ve re-prioritized, re-focused, and re-newed what my goals and ambitions in life, and what I need to do to accomplish them. I invite you to the same!

From 1985 – 2011 there have been 26 new years for me, but in the grand of scheme of things life has always continued. When you think about it every day can be a ‘New Year’ if we decided it to be, but the reality is there is something special about putting up a new calendar on your wall. So embrace it! Embrace this chance to start anew, to give yourself new shots, take new chances, and discover new opportunities. After all, it only comes ‘once a year’…
