New Beginnings

It’s 2015! On the days leading up to this New Year I’ve been thinking a lot about new beginnings. I noticed that we humans seem to be obsessed with them. We convince ourselves that every decade, month, week, day, and hour heralds a new beginning. We believe that when the hands of the clock turn and begin that moment, we too begin again as new people. It’s all a construct, of course, made up in our heads. We don’t actually become new people. Our slates are not proverbially wiped clean. But the amazing thing is that because we believe that we are going to change, we do. We strive to make ourselves better and because we think the New Year (or month, week, etc) gives us new strength, it does. A very smart man once said “the way we imagine the world ends up shaping reality”. Our reality. The power to change is within us. We need only look.

 So here’s to a brand New Year and the confidence and strength it brings. Here’s to the knowledge that we are masters of our own destinies. Here’s to all the stories we have lived and the ones we are going to write. Here’s to 2015 and the promise of infinite new beginnings.

Here’s to the Godswood!

Until next time,
