A New Chance

Another new year is upon us and like the ones before; we promise ourselves and others to do something different or change what we're doing, or pretty much just aim to be a little better. There's nothing wrong with a little wishful thinking. Yet, there are some who do more than that. Be among those few who dare to do what they foresaw themselves doing. It's not too difficult to take the first step once you know where you want to be and how you want to be. The trouble is, many of us need to collect our thoughts, guts, feelings and our soul and put them all together in order to take what we can and make that first step. It's never always easy.

Everyone wants to turn over a new leaf. It's not that hard. It's as simple as turning over a leaf on the road. Start small. Appreciate the little things. Realise that these little things can make a big difference. Once you get past that, every little action seems substantial and you know that it will make a difference. Not everyone will respond the way you expect; do it anyway. Someone will come along and respond like you had originally hoped and that gives you the reason you need to try again with a hundred more.

The turn of this new year has seen many events take place. Some of extreme magnitude, but if that's what it takes to get the ball rolling, so be it. Some people die to live, while some die so others can truly live. There is always hope. There is always will. And when united, they can battle ignorance and win.

Here I am, hoping for a better tomorrow. Happy New Year!
