That’s the Smell of Freshness
Smell that? You know what it is. It’s that New Year Smell. Go on, stick your head outside and take it in. Drink deeply of the untapped potential and just envision all the wonderfulness this new year might bring.
Yes. I’m serious. Potential. Sure, it exists most of the year, but there’s something about starting “fresh” that inspired most of us to get our shit together, screw our courage to the sticking place, and solider on into the new year with a heart full of hope.
Naysayers, begone! Yes, yes…we all know the success rate on New Year’s Resolutions, but just sit down and shut up. The New Year is about Hope, not about cynicism. In fact, I’d encourage everyone reading this to drop the cynical attitude this year. Imagine what could be accomplished if our inner critics were instantly silenced. Kill the running inner monologue for a while and just live in the moment. I bet you’ll smile more.
Deep breath, folks. It’s a new game out there. I’ll see you on the field.
