Brand new everything

A brand new day never seems new, does it? We say that its a new day yet it still feels familiar, a curious case of everyday 'deja vu'.  It evidently carries yesterday's battles, lingering thoughts of 'what i could or should have done', the mistakes we continue to correct in our minds over and over again,and then, you come to realize, another day has ended, without a ray of new. The essence of a brand new day seems lost. It seems hidden under lost hopes and monotonous patterns, because we forget to let go of the rust of the past day, we still attach ourselves to yesterday, even if it has passed.. ridiculous isn't it!!?. For us to actually see the brand new moment, this 'newness', we need to make space for it . Our minds and lives seem clustered, with no space to embrace anything. We wake up, do the same patterns of life we have always been doing. How is that ever going to make us aware of the radiance of a new day? when we are always occupied with our schedules and plans for each day? we just never get to BE and loosen all the tenseness of something going wrong. We carry on through our days without an ounce of joy to actually appreciate even the smallest things that you can feel the warmness of the earth around you, that you lived to see another day in this earth. Even the reflection of ourselves become old, dull, familiar, that we fail to appreciate our beauty.We look forward to others doing that for us. Is this really living? We have a choice to live each day to its purpose, a joyous purpose. And it starts with being thankful. To enjoy something, means to let go of all expectations about it, immense yourself in it and become one with it. It's not everyday that we feel we want to do what we have to, but doing that with a positive mindset, adding your own joy to it, makes a visible difference. Our days seem dead, dormant. It's time to bring them back to life, and that also means bringing back the feel and smell of a brand new day. New means unfamiliar. Focusing on the future is impractical when you forget about the present.
