This week the calendar turns. New years are famous as resolution holders. A new year can mean a new you. But why must we wait for another year to pass when those noble resolutions dissipate into the mist of good ideas.
Years are easy resolution-markers because something tangible changes on the calendar; it feels significant. If we need a quicker reset, the shift from one month to the next is available. Each Monday of the year is also a good time to move failure into success.
But a reset is always available. We don’t have to wait for new years, new months, or new Mondays. Newness is constantly present, because right now– somewhere on planet earth–a new day is dawning. This very moment the sun is rising somewhere, just as it is simultaneously setting somewhere else. One person’s dusk is another’s dawn.
My point is the calendar is simply a function of location. If you need to transform a flash of failure, don’t wait a day to do so. Borrow someone else’s dawn and instantly reboot.
Have a Happy New Year!
