It's true that the world has had a stressful year, two times in a row. In many parts of the world, the Covid-elated struggles are peaking yet again. It begs the question - when will this nightmare be over? There is still a lot of uncertainty as to what the future holds which makes it hard for us to be positive and hopeful. But you know what? Resilience is in our DNA. When things get tough, please remember that every day is an opportunity for a fresh start. Every sunrise is a new chapter in our lives waiting to be written so it is solely up to us to write a meaningful one, difficulties notwithstanding 😊

The arrival of the new year presents an opportunity to take a moment (or several!) to evaluate our life. We can reflect on the year gone by - of the happy gains as well as missed opportunities. We can introspect on our personal growth, learn from our experiences and strive to become better than we are. Doing this will help us Bring balance to our life with positive influences overriding the negative ones. In a nutshell, what the new year brings to us will depend a great deal on what we bring to the new year.
