When is the new year for you?
The many, many years I was a student, autumn was the start of a new school year, and the mental start of beginning anew. Autumn was the start of my new year.
More recently, January 1 has been the symbolic date, and I usually think about goals for the coming year.
But a case can be made for Spring. Spring is sometimes called a time of new beginnings. Trees leafing out. Flowers. The lovely fresh scent.
Or how about Monday?
It doesn’t really matter, of course. The issues for us are to have clarity about our goals, the direction to get there, and begin.
The only way to finish is to start.
This is true for both secular and spiritual matters.
If you want to improve your health, for example, by increasing exercise or improving nutrition, the only way to do that is to begin. Exercise today. Change your diet, even a little, today.
If you want to read the entire Bible in one year (whenever the year starts!), begin today.
The only way to get there is to begin.
Begin! Get going! Today!
