 | There is no person alive who cannot make a new beginning. — L. Ron Hubbard |
A tradition that began over 5000 years ago, the celebration of the New Year is a time to pause, take stock of the past and set goals for the future.
But in today's fast-paced society, where stress and pressure are constantly present, is there any point in setting New Year's resolutions?
Surrounded by the evidence of cultural decay, crime, immorality, is it old-fashioned to review one's life and make decisions to improve it?
L. Ron Hubbard wrote:
"Trying to survive in a chaotic, dishonest and generally immoral society is difficult."
He went on to say:
"One can feel at times like a spinning leaf blown along a dirty street, one can feel like a grain of sand stuck in one place. But nobody has said that life was a calm and orderly thing: it isn't. One isn't a tattered leaf nor a grain of sand: one can, to greater or lesser degree draw his road map and follow it.
"One can feel that things are such now that it is much too late to do anything, that one's past road is so messed up that there is no chance of drawing a future one that will be any different: there is always a point on the road when one can map a new one. And try to follow it. There is no person alive who cannot make a new beginning."
May 2007 bring you peace, prosperity and happiness.
