"To many, the coming of a new year represents an opportunity to begin again and if we believe we are capable of changing our lives, we are more apt to believe that we are capable of leaving our mistakes behind.
Viewing the start of the coming year as a time of rebirth allows you to focus on what you want to accomplish in the coming weeks, months, and years.
In the ancient Babylonian, Chinese, and Celtic traditions, the period
marking the transition from the old year to the new was viewed as a struggle
between chaos and order, in which order always prevailed. Your belief that you,
too, can banish chaos and integrate your dreams, desires, and goals more fully
into your life will give you the determination and fortitude to change your
life for the better." (The Daily Om)
