A NEW YEARS HEAVE

 The clock ticks, inching closer to the end of a year only to start another one, and despite the truth that it’s just another day there’s that part of you that wants to cleanse your life palette and start anew. 

     What will really change?  What resolution will truly last?

     I contend that a New Year isn’t the time to “start” so much as it’s a time to be “finished.” A time to rid one’s self of all the things that have held you back. Consider the following…

     Don’t “start” going to the gym. Just be “finished”with being out of shape and unhealthy. 

     You don’t have to start becoming a  better significant other. Just be finished with all the ways you weren’t one. 

     Don’t find religion. Just stop ignoring it.

     Don’t start being positive. Just be finished with accepting the negative as the only truth. 

     Don’t be a better person. Just be finished with being a shitty one. 

     I could go on but I believe the table is set. You decide what needs to come off it, but you’ll be amazed at how being “finished” with something organically becomes the “start”of something. 

     Have a Happy New Year’s Heave and an amazing 2024.
