Welcome new year of opportunities

Every New Year marks a chance for all to make things better than the past year, which bade farewell. For the New Year ahead, each one has different plans, dreams, and goals to chase and accomplish them someday throughout the year. Although not all these could be achieved, at least you have them ready! It always worth chasing a dream to make it comes true someday. All our dreams are possible, but it is a matter of how much we strive to make them really possible!


As it has been said that success comes only to those who believe in their dreams. Accordingly, the more people believe in their dreams, the easier they become possible and achievable. Regardless of how challenging our dreams are, we can make them become a reality by believing in them and persisting to achieve them. Hellen Keller said, “Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.”


Whether we want them or not, every New Year brings new challenges and opportunities. It is upon us to decide how to make the most of all these challenges and opportunities that we come across. Although nobody can go back and make a new beginning, anyone can start from now and make a brand-new ending at least for the coming year. Possibly, we all can make a promise and have a dream and work on achieving our dreams as well as fulfilling our promises regardless of how difficult they are.


Let’s all start by looking at the lives of all those who achieved outstanding successes by being committed to their goals and plans. They challenged themselves and proved they could make their dreams possible! There are countless examples of individuals whose endless efforts and perseverance brought enlightenment to humanity overall. Case in point, Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb and other inventions, was very committed to succeed even though he failed at least in 700 different projects.


Some might have faced similar experiences like Edison. However, the only difference is that he was committed to achieving their goals and dreams. Hence, we should be self-confident and believe in our dreams and goals. Through our wisdom, hard work, commitment, persistence, and God’s will, we can succeed in what we have set out to achieve. The only key question that we all need to ask ourselves is where do we stand in setting our goals and what are we doing to achieve them?


Today, we have a new book in our life with 365 blank pages to write on. It is us who decide what to note down or stamp on those pages every single moment we live each day. Just remember that every time you flip a page of this book, you present a space for new ideas and progress in your life. There is always a second chance to change things and make your day or life even better. I assure you that life is full of opportunities, but it is us who decide when to grab it.


Another year with different happy and sad memories, success, achievements and disappointments has passed. With every New Year comes greater challenges and obstacles in our life, but it is part of the experience and life enjoyment! As the New Year is just kicking off, I wish you all courage, hope and faith to overcome all the challenges and hard times that you come across. As the New Year dawns and approaches us with new hopes, I wish each and every one of you a wonderful year ahead filled with promises of a brighter tomorrow.


Happy New Year and wish you all a happy, prosperous, and successful year!
