Each year-end marks a new beginning.

To keep your spirit and determination unshaken, always have the faith and the courage to achieve everything you desire.

Life will never be the same with the “new normal”. So having both positive and negative connotations, lets call it a “new beginning”.

“Beginning” suggests that changes are needed, but positively. Starting the new-year with a big dose of gratitude for the well being in 2020 is a part of the picture. 

While this pandemic showed us different shades of life, it also showed us how to value our lives and be grateful for one every single day. The pandemic has been for all of us an opportunity to look upon as human beings. So what if we paused to appreciate the opportunities we’ve been granted to spend more time together?

Gratitude being a thankful appreciation, whether tangible or intangible, acknowledges the goodness in people’s lives. It also helps connecting people to something larger than themselves as individuals, be it to other human beings, environment or our warriors. Lets take time to be grateful for what we have gained amidst the pandemic, instead of focusing on the negativity. 

We all have the strength to stick together at times and lets make kindness our priority. Its time we appreciate that we have been bestowed with a gift called “life”.

Thinking of difficult times we had and how far we have come, sets up an explicit contrast that is fertile ground for gratefulness. Contrasting the present with the negative times  in the past can make us feel happier and enhance our overall sense of well-being.
