My dearest readers,
now that we are all facing the end of another
year and are wrapping it up and winding down, we can all look at the year to
come with a thrill of excitement and pleasant anticipation, because what we are
facing is by no means an ending at all—let our eyes be
open, because we are
facing a new beginning, higher heights, and are staring dead into the depths of
new opportunities that lie ahead: our future, a
future of gold.
Now that the year is (about to be) over we can look back at the many
challenges we had to face and at the many obstacles we overcame, but also at
the various beautiful moments that reverberate in our memory as the moments
that made this year so special. Now that the year is (almost) over we can
reflect and may want to rewind and recall one moment or the other, just to
relive and experience it one more time before marching into twenty-fifteen. Now
is the time, let us reflect…and let us bear in mind that “[t]he past can be
beautiful, a memory, a dream, but it’s no place to live” (cf. Dior commercial).
What is a place to live,
however, is our future, the one that lies ahead and just waits for you to
direct and shape it, give it meaning, a mission, purpose, and make it become a
future so pure, so splendid and valuable as gold, shining, pleasing to the eye.
The past and our twenty-fourteen memories we hold so dear we can and may keep
in our hearts, for vigor and presence and evidence of heart, but the true gold in
our lives is still to come, the true gold we are to find in the future, the
year to come, the tomorrow, where the past can be our fuel, perseverance our
gas pedal, experience our key that we insert into the ignition of a deeper
understanding just in order to ride along and roll on our life-way that is
paved with the challenges and obstacles we see day in day out. But in this case
the way is not the reward, our future is, and as Dior so thoroughly proclaims it, it is gold, a new world that
awaits us tomorrow. Be happy and excited about it, because this golden future
waits for someone special: You!
In that sense I wish you all a good start in twenty-fifteen and once more want to thank you for all your love, the support, your comments and shared thoughts on the 2014 blog, because the increasing success, rising number of viewers, and positive feedback all bear witness that a little “momentum to go” has the power to do something and move people; and it is, further, to me as its writer only an affirming and encouraging call to go on and continue writing. Therefore, after this effective and successful year I can state with delight and certainty—according to this post—that this is not the end of this series (or any other kind), but merely a (new) beginning, a call to higher heights for all of us, to the depths of new opportunities that lie ahead, because you and your love have given a future to this series, one of gold, and—even more important—one that I am infinitely grateful for. Thank you for all your love! #foreverforward #momentumtogo #forevergrateful
