As we approach the end of the year, we must cleanse our hearts of regrets and achieve pure happiness, says Saee Chodankar
And here we are at the conclusion of yet another year, proceeding towards the beginning of a new year, infused with new energy! Every time it is the same situation where in we are very much excited and happy about the beginning of a new year but as we come to the conclusion of the same year, we only feel that it was not up to the mark, and hope that the forthcoming year will at the least be a better one.
Now, Let us all take a pause from our “busy” life and go down the memory lane of the ending year right from its beginning. Let us go to the first day of the year. Remember waking up on the 1st of January, the start of the year? How motivating and energizing it was! (even after the tiring late New Year’s Eve party) ‘It’s a new beginning and so it’s a good opportunity to start all over again.’ we thought. We looked at it as not just a new year, but as a blessing full of new opportunities, and decide to take care to not ruin anything. We are all just so much positive at the start. But as the days pass, months pass, there comes the passing of the year again, and all we are left with is the account of how bad this year was, and what hardships that it made us go through..
However, there were some things which did make us feel happy, great, and blessed. These were the things that added sparkle to our hearts and joy to our lives. There must have been moments when we felt overwhelmed. Let us devote some of our precious time to cherishing all these happy and special moments of the passing year. Let us all proceed towards the coming New Year with gratitude and no regrets in heart. Agreed, to get your mind trained to have no regrets is not easy. It will take time, but we should learn to accept the truth, stay positive, and move on!
Some things don’t work out the way we want them to, but that does not mean one should stand at that point of time regretting over the same thing forever. Life is really short to have regrets. The New Year is not too far, just three more days to go. So, you have three days to make your heart placid and peaceful. Just forgive and let go off all the toxic thoughts within you. It’s time to refresh and feel life at its best, because life is truly beautiful if you let it live through you.
And if at all you have made any New Year resolution, then add ‘taking care of yourself’ as the first resolution then only you will be able to take care of others.
Now all you got to do is get ready for another set of challenges that life is going to throw at you in the coming year, and face it all courageously, and make it a better year such that you will have no regrets by its end. Just remember to adapt, improvise and overcome!
May the New Year fill your heart with gratitude, care and love for others.
Wish you all a very happy and blessed new year!
