What If Every Day Could Be a Completely New Beginning?

How was your week? How would you answer this question?

For me, my default answer is “same old”, or nothing special. How about you?

As soon as I have that answer on my mind, the next thought I have is questioning my answer. Is it true that there was nothing special in the past week? Do I really lead a boring life?

Each person lives on average 4000 weeks, some people may live longer, some shorter. If every week consists of “nothing special”, is that really living?

Every day is a new day. An opportunity to start fresh. We get to choose how we think of each day. We get to decide what to do and how to do things. The possibility is endless.

You may be in a season of struggling. Struggling to stay afloat. Struggling to function while your mental fuel tank is empty. You may be just going through the motions to make ends meet. Whatever it is, you do not want to live like this because you do not think this is the way to live, barely surviving. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck and helpless. A new day does not have to be a repeat of yesterday. A new day is a chance for you to reflect on what did not go well and give yourself the opportunity to acknowledge what went well.

Use some time before you go to bed to reflect on your day. Prepare for the next day by coming up with things you want to keep the same, things you want to do differently, and things you want to start to do. Sprinkle some hope into the mix.

Every day is a new day. It is a new beginning. It is a time to explore new things. It is time to tackle some challenges. It is time to be your own observer. As we have a limited time in this world, let us take advantage of the time we have. Every moment is a new moment we cannot get back.

Embrace the day. Embrace what we have. Embrace the challenges. Embrace the valley you are in. It is not easy sometimes. When you are in a difficult season, it is an opportunity for you to learn through hardships to get to the top of the mountain. Be present in your journey because you cannot repeat it exactly as it is. Find joy along the way – unless you choose to feel miserable all the time.

Every day is a new day to get to know yourself better. Be open to learning new things. You are only too old to learn if you think you are too old to learn. Every day is a chance for you to expand your horizon, to stretch your limit if you choose to. Say, if you are training for a marathon from zero miles, every day is an opportunity to run further and to build your endurance. The better you know yourself, the clearer you know what your core values are, the better you know what you want and what goals you have.

Every day is a new day. It is new because you will not have a repeated day. Even if you try to replicate a day, it is impossible to have the exact same experience. No matter what situation you are in, cherish the time you have, because we do not know how many more days we get to walk on this earth. Let every experience be an opportunity for you to reflect, to learn and to grow. Let every day be a chance to know yourself better and to confirm your values. Know what you want and let each day be an opportunity to live according to your values. Find joy along the way, even in challenging times.
