New Year Blessings

Blessings for the Best Year Ever

 

SOME THINGS ARE TOO LATE TO CHANGE

January 1 is the start of a new year for Christians because this is the calendar based on the year when Jesus was said to be born.

Worldwide it has been adopted as the first day of the year for commerce, industry and general living purposes, and this calendar is definitely too ingrained to be changed now.

 

OTHER NEW YEARS

We do know other cultures and religions celebrate their new year at other times. As this day is just the start of the calendar perhaps we can avoid religious niceties and wish each other a blessed time in the forthcoming period. Let us wish everyone peace and blessings which is consistent with the Sunnah (way of life) of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him).

 

Here are blessings that are for everyone.

BEGINNING AGAIN EVERY DAY

 

B:  Best years are what we make of them, so may this be the very best year ever for you.
L:  Live each of your days as the best person you can be and this year will turn out to be the best or one of your best.
E:  Entertain thoughts of determination at all times that you will make this period the greatest you can. Elbow grease is what you need to employ to empower yourself to extremely effective experiences.
S:  Swerve around rocks along the way by saying: “I persevere, I overcome, I do well and I prosper.”
S:  Say to yourself often:  “I live each day with purpose, integrity, grace, compassion and richness.”
I:  I use determination as a driver to make the most of all the amazing opportunities that are around. In every situation, I will marshal all my resources and make the best of this situation.
N:  “Noticing Opportunity,” is my mantra.
G:  Get up, gear up and get out there is what I am going to do every day.
S:  See the magic everywhere even in ordinary moments.
