Why Do We celebrate A New Year? When Everyday Should Be a Celebration!

A New Year, why do we celebrate it?

I often see things in a different perspective and it is something we need to do. We need to step back and reanalyze everything. Question everything.

I look at all these “holidays” that we are all accustomed to accept. The normal tradition that we live through. We are told when we must celebrate things. We live in this regurgitated cycle of the mundane. Always living in a scheduled time and time should not be scheduled, for it should be random, as life should be a random voyage through time.

“The chief beauty about time
is that you cannot waste it in advance.
The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you,
as perfect, as unspoiled,
as if you had never wasted or misapplied
a single moment in all your life.
You can turn over a new leaf every hour
if you choose.”
― Arnold Bennett

I look at New Years and ask myself Why do we celebrate a new year, but not a new month, why don’t we celebrate TODAY. Why don’t we celebrate LIFE.

Why do we wait a full year to celebrate the coming and going of a new year when every day could be our new year.

“Each day brings new life, new strength, new dreams and new hope. May you find courage, confidence and hope to reach out for your dreams.”
― Lailah Gifty Akita

We wait for the start of a new year to feed ourselves empty promises to ourselves. But why wait for that new year to start, when today is a NEW YEAR. The moment you wake up is the start of your new year. What we do with that day is what matters.

“Each new day is a blank page in the diary of your life. The secret of success is in turning that diary into the best story you possibly can.”
― Douglas Pagels

Everyday could be a different song, everyday could be something special. Life comes and goes and little do we realize that a new year might not come, for tomorrow is never a certainty. For every day we are born again.

“Today is a new day. Don’t let your history interfere with your destiny! Let today be the day you stop being a victim of your circumstances and start taking action towards the life you want. You have the power and the time to shape your life. Break free from the poisonous victim mentality and embrace the truth of your greatness. You were not meant for a mundane or mediocre life!”
― Steve Maraboli

Which is why I choose to celebrate life everyday. Choose to not procrastinate for a new year to start in order to change the things in my life, when I can make that change today. Everyday is that new day, that new year to strive to better ourselves. To become better then what we once was yesterday.

So why wait? Today is a new day, today is your new year. LIVE THE BEAUTY OF LIFE, CHERISH AND CELEBRATE LIFE!

“Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.

Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson,
