New Year...What does it all MEAN?


I am glad that our previous forefathers of humanity thought well enough to make a New year. The date was formed most studies show for political reasons in the Late Republic period. But the reasons why it was formed is not important right now but the feeling that it represents.

People cling to the new year for many reasons:

to forget about the problems of the past year, regeneration of mind, body, and spirit, forge new relationships and mend old ones, contemplate life in a way that will allow a person to create a new energy, and also to form new goals and put a battery pack on the goals that need a new jump start from last year.

There is a definite excitement. Its almost like a re-birth as if we get a second chance to learn to walk, talk, and breathe again.

Inhale...Exhale. Do not hold your breath. Allow your breathing to just flow.

One foot in front of the other. Try not to fall and try not to wobble. Be steady.

But what if you lose your breath again this year and what if your walking and you happen to fall again this year.

What if you have different problems but you happen to stumble as you did last year. What if you lose your breath and get the wind knocked out of you by some unfortunate mishap of life.

Life is still life whether its the new year or midyear.

This blog sounds depressing but its not.

What I am trying to say is that instead of trying to figure how not to fall and how to maintain your breath. We should learn how to make the recovery from the fall a little shorter each year, so soon we do not fall but just slightly wobble.

Instead of having to catch our breath we should just try to breathe more slowly and each day we take a breath realize that it is a connection to our next moment of peace, enlightenment, and point of destiny. But you must keep breathing.


I am not a huge fan of football but I love to watch football diaries that have an inside view at preparation, practices, and games. One of the things that football players do is that they practice how to fall so they do not get completely injured. We should take a page from this, for we waste the most time during the process of the fall and the recovery.

This year lets breathe a little better and recover more quickly from a fall; for at the end of the day your destiny awaits.
