Every day and every moment in our lives are special. Some days and some moments bring out the best attention and focus. The first day of the year is one such occasion. “Happy New Year” is the buzz greeting and somewhere deep within we also wish ourselves for the best to happen in 2009!

New Year Resolution and changing old habits (or, not so good ones in the past year’s list) are on top priority. It is always a tough call to choose between old habits and embracing new ones. It would rather be better to choose to do what you can and what you should than worry about what you shouldn’t.

Thanks to Barrack Obama, CHANGE, is the most frequently used word in 2008! We all love to see change in people around us and obviously others love to see changes in us. And, most importantly, we wish to see change in ourselves. We make resolutions on different occasions: Birthday, Anniversaries, and New Year so on and so forth. The bottom point is the inner urge to take control of our destinies. A desperate wish deep within to change the course of our own history and set up the tone for a new journey in our destiny.

A spring start from bed on the first day of the year is a normal human initiative. Sustaining the momentum is not impossible. Focusing on a clear roadmap is what makes the whole difference. I would rather focus on what to do than what not to in the year ahead. Keep doing things right. My advice to myself is to consistently engage in action. Every single activity should breed another activity. Results may follow. Happiness is the key incentive. Every moment in life is a blessing. Enjoying every blessed moment is the key motivating factor.

I wish all my fellow beings and my self a very exciting 2009 ahead.
