people often talk about how overrated new year's eve is, that people have to high expectations, and think that everything is gonna change even though nothing does. they say that life will just go on as always.
i agree, it is quite unlikely that on the night of the 31st of december something magical will happen and as the clock turns twelve we all suddenly are new people. nothing changes just like that.
things change, things happen because people make decisions. all our actions have consequences, what we choose to say, to do or to think shapes our character, shapes our relationships and the people around us, our family and friends, neighbours, colleagues, strangers.
i think the beginning of a new year is a good time to reflect, what decisions we made in the last year and what we can learn from that. we can consider how we want to grow throughout the next year, and how we can encourage, challenge and support our nearest and dearest.
so, 2013 is not necessarily a new beginning - but it can be.
