This bright new year is given me

Another fresh new year is here . . . Another year to live! To banish worry, doubt, and fear, To love and laugh and give! This bright new year is given me To live each day with zest . . . To daily grow and try to be My highest and my best! I have the opportunity Once more to right some wrongs, To pray for peace, to plant a tree, And sing more joyful songs!

It’s a New Year and with it comes a fresh opportunity to shape our world. So this is my wish, a wish for me as much as it is a wish for you: in the world to come, let us be brave – let us walk into the dark without fear, and step into the unknown with smiles on our faces, even if we’re faking them. And whatever happens to us, whatever we make, whatever we learn, let us take joy in it. We can find joy in the world if it’s joy we’re looking for, we can take joy in the act of creation. So that is my wish for you, and for me. Bravery and joy.

If you are seeking, seek us with joy For we live in the kingdom of joy.

For there are hopes: they are real, they exist – Do not go in the direction of darkness – I tell you: suns exist.

Let go of the old, take hold of the new and believe that 2013 will be your best year yet!

Today is a new day. Today is a day for you to begin creating a joyous, fulfilling life.

We live in a world where joy is possible, love is possible, happiness is possible; where all things are possible, if we're willing to take the time, take a chance, take a breath and step off the edge of everything that is for the sake of everything that might be.

Every beginning is cheerful.

Take a leap of faith and begin this wondrous new year by believing.

Spread your love everywhere you go.
