Every end of the year and every beginning of the year, have you ever thought about what’s changing? Where is it changing? Every New Year takes you to new turns in your life. Time has been passing. There are some people for whom the New Year is itself a new beginning; that’s why we feel special about December month, because it’s a true sign that time does not go backward. The present time will never come back. You are moving on, and this is ongoing. Let me know that what is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word "New Year"?

Some may think about the achievements they've won, while others may recall the best moments of the year. I know that no matter what challenges or difficulties you have faced in 2024, by the end of the year, you've gained something new, perhaps a life lesson or more. The New Year has the capacity to bring "newness," and it offers a moment for us to reflect, analyse and scrutinize our past deeds, and Craft new plans and fearlessly allocate your time to each task based on your priorities."

The New Year is a reminder for everyone about the meaning of our lives because Many times we become entangled in our hectic routines. However, it's important to understand that perpetual busyness doesn't necessarily mean we are on the right path in life. Sometimes, we need to pause and take a moment to introspect, to evaluate our actions, and identify areas where we need to make corrections. At the end of every year, we might realize that we spent most of our time just staying busy. Ask yourself, what have you truly achieved from all those busy days? Time is passing quickly, and it will continue to do so. There is an old cliché that the most precious thing in the world is time; years pass by quickly, almost like the blink of an eye or like a flicker. Therefore, having such wonderful memories is equivalent to receiving the same privilege.

Some people see life as a race, but I'd like to tell you that life is not a running race nor a competitive field. Life is about you, your loved ones, and the people around you. Chasing materialistic possessions one after the other won't bring you peace until you have a clear sense of purpose. Build a resilient attitude because each one of us is strong in many aspects of life. Once again, think about your past and ask yourself are you satisfied with your past? It's a time to think about your goals with a creative mindset because true happiness often arises from the simple and meaningful moments in our daily activities. It's the joy we find in everyday experiences though it can be challenges as well.

Engaging in activities is different from being overly busy. When you find that your activities bring joy and happiness, you'll become wiser. The happiest people share one mantra: "Live in the moment, not in the past or future." However, this doesn't mean you should disregard your future. Deal with everything with a clear understanding and work with a joyful mindset. Your life matters to your loved ones, just as everyone has loved ones surrounding them.

Anyways, I want you to think in a unique way to celebrate 2025. What are your plans for welcoming 2025? I know everyone is eagerly waiting for that moment where the clock strikes midnight to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new one. And how can we forget our New Year's resolutions? Have you made any New Year's resolutions? I can tell you that having strong intentions for the upcoming days is a great way to set goals and intentions for the year ahead. Interestingly, I've heard from some people that they've decided not to make any New Year's resolutions. Their reasoning is that resolutions have their own advantages, but the downside is that the failure of New Year's resolutions is common, but it is diminishing the value of self-promises of individuals. People who choose not to make resolutions believe they don't want to restrict themselves with unnecessary boundaries. Life itself is a great opportunity, and trying everything and discovering what works and what doesn't work is possible without resolutions. It's about having a mindful attitude and a positive nature.

Anyways, New Year celebrations differ from person to person, but the common thread is that everyone needs some form of acceptance and security, whether it's financial, mental, or physical. Quality time with loved ones, peace, and happiness are universal desires. Finding meaning in one's life is a profound question. If I ask you, "What is the meaning of your life?" what would be your answer then? If so, then are you working towards it? Acknowledging your failures is the first step you need to take, and never restrict your personal growth and the possibility of change to a specific time or date on the calendar. New transformations can only happen when you have the attitude to accept everything as it is. The pursuit of happiness and contentment is not the sole meaning of your life. The journey itself teaches you many things, so let your feelings and emotions embrace you; that can help you realize the essentiality of having self-compassion to stay motivated. Obstacles are not obstacles until you acknowledge it. Instead of viewing things as obstacles, treat them as opportunities to move forward with a greater vision.

The New Year is a symbolic representation of a new beginning, a time to shape our destinies. I can tell you that what truly makes a New Year meaningful are the thoughts and intentions we carry.

Now, have a postulation of celebrating the New Year in a unique way, so here we can explore five special ways, basically we have the classic tradition of New Year's resolutions. But this time, we will jointly craft family resolutions with every member of your household, as it will infuse added delight and contentment into your family life.

Idea number two is Celebrate your New Year with your family and friends by having a dinner together or a day out." This can create lasting memories because, whenever you see the snaps of happy faces, you will undoubtedly feel a sense of exhilaration."

Third is to imbibe environmental Consciousness' within ourselves by committing activities like tree planting. So that it will help you to connect with nature, and this symbolises your contribution for the nature.

Fourth one is a heart-warming way of enjoying the New Year event through 'Pouring gratitude.' It is more like encouraging everyone to jot down moments they're grateful for throughout the year and read them aloud when the clock strikes midnight."

Lastly number five is the 'Family Talent Show.' It is an opportunity to squeeze out hidden talents, whether it's singing, dancing, magic tricks, or a talk time. And having a quality time with family is what we need to build in rest of our life.

So, I hope you all are completely prepared to welcome 2025 with full of happiness and faith. Wishing you a new year filled with abundant blessings and new beginnings.

Lead your life with the intention of joy and security. Extend a helping hand to those in need.

    Years keep changing, and so do the months and every moment. We've become accustomed to this, observing the passage of time with the changing years and dates, yet often seeing no change in our own lives. However, with each new year, we hold onto new hopes and think positively. May the upcoming new year, 2025, bring happiness to everyone’s life. May peace prevail everywhere, wars and conflicts come to an end, and people stop harming each other. May every country live in harmony, and may its citizens find peace. Let there always be an atmosphere of tranquility at our borders. May love and affection flourish among us, and by forgetting hatred and jealousy, may we live together in unity and serenity.
