Happy New Year!

Here are ten of my favorite New Year quotations that might inspire you:

  1. I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.” Thomas Jefferson
  2. “Tomorrow, is the first blank page of a 365 page book. Write a good one.” ― Brad Paisley
  3. “Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.” ― Benjamin Franklin
  4. “The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul and a new nose; new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes. Unless a particular man made New Year resolutions, he would make no resolutions. Unless a man starts afresh about things, he will certainly do nothing effective.” ― G.K. Chesterton, A Chesterton calendar
  5. “For last year’s words belong to last year’s language, and next year’s words await another voice. And to make an end is to make a beginning.” (Little Gidding)” ― T.S. Eliot
  6. “In the New Year, never forget to thank to your past years because they enabled you to reach today. Without the stairs of the past, you cannot arrive at the future!” — Mehmet Murat ildan
  7. “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” CS Lewi
  8. “And now let us believe in a long year that is given to us, new, untouched, full of things that have never been, full of work that has never been done, full of tasks, claims, and demands; and let us see that we learn to take it without letting fall too much of what it has to bestow upon those who demand of it necessary, serious, and great things.” ― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters of Rainer Maria Rilke, 1892-1910
  9. “Life’s not about expecting, hoping and wishing, it’s about doing, being and becoming.” — Mike Dooley
  10. “Don’t wait for the perfect time to put your goals into action. There is never a better time than right now.” — Michael Masterson

At the end of the old year/ beginning of the new year, I usually write about my goal-accomplishment strategies. This year, I’m working on an essay that expresses the mistakes I’ve made in the past and some innovations I’ve introduced to resolve them in the future. You’ll be getting it soon.
