NEW YEAR, NEW WE || A MESSAGE FOR 2025...AND BEYOND
WHAT DOES GOING INTO THE NEW YEAR LOOK LIKE FOR US?
Is it all about letting go of the past?
Is it only about moving forward and never looking back?
Is it another chance for us to become a new “new”?
Is time even real, and should new years even matter to us?
What will you do different this year from what you did last?
Before reading this journal entry, take a moment and look back at how far you’ve come….I mean, you’re still here! After all of that, you are still here. You should be uber proud of yourself. WIthout the concept of time, how would we be able to measure that progress? New years come, and new years go….well, really, old years go.
With each year, we get another chance, but let’s break that macro into a micro, and remind ourselves that we also get to implement, create, or recreate “new'“ on a monthly, weekly, daily, and even hourly basis in our lives….so what makes the end / beginning of the year so special for us? Why do we wait for this moment in time to change ourselves or to implement new into our lives?
If you have an answer, share one below in the comments section, but for now, let’s explore this a little more…

As humans, I think we would take any opportunity to become new, let go of the old and shed some skin while doing so….that’s easier said than done of course, but how can we become new? …and not just when a new year is upon us, but all the time!!!!
We don’t need to wait for the clock to strike 12 on the 31st of every December before deciding that we want to change something about ourselves or our lives. Every chance you get to wake up is an opportunity to do just that, but we have to start looking at things in this manner in order for “new” to have more of a meaning, and to not just become a dependant on January 1st every year….is what I’m expressing here make sense?
In this case, why don’t you join me in ensuring that we both stick with the most ultimate resolution of all-time, which is to not wait for any new year to implement new or to even have any resolutions at all. If anything, let’s add some spice and change into our lives daily this year…and beyond. Yesterday and today were bad, ok, let’s make tomorrow good again! We have the power to do so. It’s up to us to control how we feel and maneuver through these challenging times that are inevitable. Barriers will try to block you, push you back, and walls as tall as mountains will try to stop your movement forward, but remember that last challenge you went through and how you made it passed that one?…yeah, I see you smiling….remember how great it felt when it was all over and it made you stronger for the next one that came?….and how you dealt with that new one head-first, because you had the tools and skills to do so….remember all of it?
Let’s keep pushing through for new and better energy, not only for ourselves, but for others as well, daily. I don’t want to get caught up in the hype of the new year anymore….every day will be my new year, and it feels great looking at life this way. Join me, join us, and let’s be the change we want to see. Some folks didn’t wake up this morning, but you did, we did…which ultimately gave us another chance to try again. Never stop. Keep going. For 2025…and beyond.
