FOR THE LOVE OF THE NEW YEAR


HELLO, wonderful facet blog readers.

It’s cool to write to you beautiful and handsome people after a looooong hiatus. How have you been? Really. Reply o. This is not a soliloquy, that’s what the comment box is for.

If you hate predictability like I do, then kudos for clicking on this post. I mean, I most probably would not want to read just another New year-New resolutions-New me horse poo; especially since a whole lot of articles and write-ups on this same thing would have been flying around. Therefore, if you clicked on this post, that means you’re either very absent minded or an ardent seeker of knowledge. Brethren, if you’re part of the latter, thumbs up. Curiosity didn’t really kill the cat, you’d know that if you were curious.

Now, on a serious note, a lot of us waltz into the new year happy and rejoicing because well, it is wonderful to be part of something new. It is a little bit like that feeling you get when you move into a new house or buy a new gadget or something. There is something to look forward to- a world of endless possibilities. However, as it has always happened to us, the possibilities get dimmer and farther from our reach every single second of the New Year - all of a sudden, we run out of time.

I bring to you great news; the same thing is going to happen this year and every other year. Yeah. How does that sound? Not so great, huh? But it’s the truth and we all know it. It’s high time we started to pick up the slack and get our heads into the action before it passes us by. While you are sitting and staring, people are doing meaningful things with their lives; breaking records and leaping through hurdles. For how long will you keep dancing and rejoicing because of the New Year when your life is really fading away?

While I am not saying we should not be grateful for seeing 2016, our gratefulness should come with intention- purpose. Do not quickly discard the New Year, New Me thing if it would actually help you to become a better person. Stop sleeping. Start doing something meaningful. Don’t deceive yourself- acknowledge your maker. Solve a problem. Help someone. And if you are already doing something meaningful, that’s great. You’re a boss. However, remember that’s yesterday’s food will become stale someday, so you have to keep at it. Trust me, there is always more to achieve.

THINK. ACT. MAKE AN AMAZING DIFFERENCE. Let yourself be great this year, fam.

Have a meaningful 2016.

NUT
