Common sense tells us that this week, as the year ends, marks the beginning of the another 365 days. As it gives us a chance to make a fresh start, it is always a good time to make improvements. Since we live in a society that is far from perfect, how do we make it better?
You cannot change society unless you believe you are society. You make a difference by changing for the better as an individual. You check your sense of self. Who is that person that you call self? Look from within. Enjoy silence as you introspect and honestly assess yourself then try your best to be a better person each day. Simply aspire to improve every single day and face your demons. Be courageous and confident that you can be the best person that you aspire to be. Let the moments of self-examination be all about you.
When people see the change and good results, they tend to emulate. You can effect change by helping others too. Be their motivation. Everybody loves a success story.
Each New Year provides a clean slate or tabula rasa. Each new year is always the best time to change. Choose optimism, believe that it can be done. As you change yourself and as the people in your network do the same, society will be better... eventually.
Happy 2023.
