About This Quote

Whether we like it or not, the object of a new year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul. A new year is simply a reminder of how we’ve done in the past and an opportunity to begin fresh. The most important thing to remember about a new year is that it’s supposed to be a fresh start.

This means that you want to make sure that you’re doing your best and working on things that are most important to you at this time in your life. It also means that 2011 was not such a great year for you if you’re still thinking about things from 2008.
