Once again..

Alarm was ringing furiously with impatience. Finally, after trying to put it off many times, I woke up with hesitation. 6.00 am in the clock & it was still dark. Why did I get up so early? I couldn’t recall. I went back to the bed & it struck me. The year 2010 was history now. It was the first morning of the year 2011. All of a sudden, I started feeling rejuvenated. The energy & enthusiasm was flowing in my body. I was ready once again with new commitments & challenges.

Celebration of 31^st December was definitely enjoyable, but for me, this day was the most awaited day, even more than 31^st. Because, for me this day is the whole new beginning. New Year’s Eve is just like any other night. There is no pause in the movement of earth, No silent breathless movement that changes everything suddenly. But, on that night we don’t have the same negative thoughts, which gather every single night with darkness. It is the night of enlightenment.

As I woke up at 6, I went upstairs to see the sunrise. City was asleep by then. All the tired souls, hoping something new were sleeping peacefully. The trees were silent. A cool & soothing breeze of air was flowing to welcome the New Year with grace & to bid goodbye to 2010. With the sunrise of the 1^st of January, I felt something deep inside. An assurance & a lot of blessings from god. It was really a massive source of optimism, which was telling me, hope is everything. Seeing a bigger dream, having a greater hope is the power of optimism. I felt better after experiencing that.

It was an ordinary year for me. Neither good, nor bad. It is the worst condition ever, where you don’t collapse, but can’t even build. When everything gets destroyed & becomes zero, you have a decent chance to laugh at yourself & build a totally new world around you. But when you have a half destroyed world which has remains of the painful wounds, you can’t build a new world. In fact, you have to build on those remains. 2010 left many wounds & scars. But the hope & optimism gave me power to think in new ways. It taught me that giving up is the worst thing I can ever do.

And therefore, I’m ready once again to welcome this year gracefully & with smiling face. Who can tell, this might be a life-changing year!

                               

         Another fresh new year is here, another year to live...

         To banish worry, doubts & fear, To love & laugh & give…

         The bright New Year is given to me, to live each day with zest…

         To daily grow & try to be, my highest & my best… :)
