It’s a brand new day
Body
What a difference a few hours can make. With every new dawn, we are given a new lease on life. In fact, it’s as if each new day brings with it all of the fresh possibilities of a new creation; with new eyes prepared to see it afresh and a revitalized spirit bursting with newfound energy and fresh hopes. But of course, the flip side of this is that we often find ourselves feeling tired and worn out at the end of a long day, and we tend to view things with jaded eyes and resignation as we tire. And although this may be the natural ebb and flow of things, let us always remember, especially when things are looking gloomy, that tomorrow will be a brand new day. There is an ancient Sanskrit poem which reflects this philosophy quite nicely: “Look to this day, for it is life, the very life of life. In its brief course lie all the realities and truths of existence: the joy of growth, the splendor of action, the glory of power. For yesterday is but a memory, and tomorrow is only a vision, but today well lived makes every yesterday a memory of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day!”
