Hello everyone, it’s John Chiko again. Before I begin, I want to say happy new year to everyone, I am glad that you made it and that you are here with us, here to have another rumble. As you can see, we are back to January again, the months have reset and now we have more time to achieve all those things that we have been waiting to do for years now, because you never gave them time.
Well today I am here to remind you to rejoice. The new year has come, a new cycle has come with it, and with it, new responsibilities. A few years ago, the whole new year process became very repetitive to me, however after a very deep dive into my psyche, I am now thinking that perhaps it is us that is repetitive.
Time is always willing to share new experiences with us, however these experiences are shaped by the time and effort that we put into manifesting something new. Would everything not taste the same if we cooked and ate the same thing every day? I believe that a lot of the changes that we are all waiting for can be made directly by us, if we accept the blessing and responsibility that receiving a new year truly means.
You have more hours, more days and more months to spend time to achieve your goals. You have more to go to the gym, you have more time to study, and you have more time to heal. That is what I truly love about the new year, it brings a new cycle to do more stuff, a new harvest if you will. I personally believe that if more people were to come to the same epiphany, then we would be taking a lot of our personal and collective challenges seriously.
Unfortunately, I don’t believe that it is something that we consider, the time that we are given and blessed with, to be able to experience the seasons again and the great experiences that they bring, the opportunities that having more time can really bring. It seems that we become distracted by an eternal loop within our minds that steals our attention until time begins to run out, or worse, when time completely is gone.
This is something I began to take seriously when I realised that many of our loved ones have run out of time and are no longer here with us, even though they had a lot of things that they wanted to achieve, they just didn’t have enough time.
How lucky are we that we have reached January, like the clock going past midnight. We have reached the new day and with it all the good sweet time that will allow us to do all the things that we want to do, but until when? Would it not be wise to take the opportunity of this new cycle to do all that you have been wanting to do, to release your soul from the burden of wondering and wondering until you cannot?
Well, all I can say is that in this cycle, I am to do more with my time, for my memories and my experiences are the things that I will have left when my time runs out.
