New Year can happen at ANYTIME of the year!

I suppose the reason you were brought to this post is utter confusion by the title therefore you clicked the link to it :). Yes the title is correct but let me explain.

This is inspired by seeing posts today about New Year, resolutions and change! It's a general observation I had while reading all these posts! Every year as one year comes to a close and the New Year is around the bend a lot of people come up with all sorts of things they want to do and change either by changing themselves or their life. A New Year brings a new kind of hope to many people. A chance to start over.

One question that came to mind as I was reading everything was, "Why do we wait for New Year to make a change?" If you want to do something to make your life better or if something needs changing - why not do it NOW? Which brings me to the reason for the title of this post. Any day, any hour, any minute you can decide what direction you want your life to take and take action accordingly. A year is the general amount of time we look back on our lives to see how things changed that year. From whatever day you decide to make your life different in any way it's going to be a "New Year" for you! A "New Year can happen at ANYTIME of the year!"

Of course some New Year resolutions need to take place in the actual New Year because each year is a new working year and jobs can open up more at that time and it can be a new study year for some students where they've finished a course and new courses are only starting the following year. As well as many other examples I'm sure you can find.

I am writing about those changes we could make at anytime of the year but sometimes people keep going with things the way they are and wait until the New Year to make a change for example to decide to have a heathier diet or change themselves or the direction of their lives. Yes actual New Year could be the time you have set for a change but remember if you feel you are stuck where you are, ask yourself a question, "why are you waiting for the New Year to make a change?" Just GO FOR IT :)!

I am not saying there is a right or wrong, of course New Year resolutions can be very exciting with the prospect of change and fun to make but for the times when we need to make a change, don't hang on and wait for the New Year to make your life better.

What are your resolutions this year?

Have a happy New Year!
God Bless,
