The Promise of New Beginnings

I like beginnings that start off with a brand new day, waking up and have the delight of still being alive, breathing the fresh air of a chilly weather at 5am. Make and have myself some coffee and witness one of God’s most beautiful creation, the sunrise, the first sign that makes me think “it’s going to be a great day, surprise me”;  while the rest of the world either still is fast asleep or are also preparing for their new day. 

Each day for me, it counts as a blessing, an opportunity to live and be alive, to enjoy the very small things in life and forget for what it is outside in the world even the most vanal things. Yes, responsibilities are still responsibilities but often times we are dragged by those and we simply forget to live a life well lived and it’s by then when it comes all the regrets, all the "I wish I had” or "I wish I had done this or that"; but above all, to continue being thankful. 

Being it the new year already, I do not intend to start making a resolution list with an analysis of my shortcomings from last year and being it another resolution post shared publicly to suffocate the internet, I don't aim to veer this post that way; I simply and honestly do not believe in them, they seem so unrealistic and they put you either into so much pressure to get them all done in a year or fall into depression for that you didn't achieve all of them as you thought you would; and as for the new year new changes? I'll be always changing, every day, every month, every year for the rest of my life; I as you, we are a work in constant progress and I for sure have that so clear on my mind. 

Instead I crave for a better life, a life with no regrets or anything holding me back, with feelings deep in my heart that are not feelings but ties that become obstacles and fears, a life where I get to enjoy the smallest things in life, enjoy life as it was my last day; make the most beautiful memories as much as I can and treasure those moments for that it's what we bring when we are called to abandon this place called Earth, a life where nothing material matters me, I used believe that was something so important years ago but how wrong I was. 

I have no goals set for 2018 other than let the Lord surprise me one more time, for that I’ve seen His love, grace, compassion and power, for making me believe that nothing is impossible for Him, for teaching me that what I have I owe it all to Him, that I don't depend on anyone else but Him. I want to keep on growing my Faith, giving Him the first place He deserves and keep on scrutinizing the sacred scriptures, the bible, for that I aim to put into practice His doctrine in my everyday life to become a better me and also I want to continue to be able to spend quality time and be surrounded with my loved ones, and just enjoy every moment of it. I want to simply enjoy life this way and be happy and that's the promise of new beginnings.

 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.  — Matthew 6:31  

Until next time! See you guys soon! xx
