It does not have to be January 1st to give yourself a chance to make the most out of your day – and your life. Every day is a new day and a fresh start to learn, grow, develop your strengths, heal yourself from past regrets or hurts, and move forward older and wiser. Every day gives you a chance to reinvent yourself, to fine-tune who you are, and build on lessons of what you have learned. It is never too late to change things that are not working in your life and switch gears, instead of thinking in the same old ways, hoping for a different outcome.
不一定非得要在1月1日才有机会最大限度地利用你的每一天,其实每一天都是一个全新的开始,让我们去学习、成长、发展自己的能力,让自己从过去的悔恨和伤痛中痊愈,变得更加睿智。每一天,我们都有机会根据以前所学的知识来重新调整自己。今天试着去改变生活中那些无益的事情,永远都不会太晚。改变思维,期待一个完全不同的结果。

Each day is a new beginning and a blank slate. How would you like to create your day? Think of it as a blank canvas – what would you like to paint on it. What can you create? If you wake up in a negative mindset, you are more likely to paint a dark picture throughout the day, and your canvas will not reflect hope, happiness and joy.
每一天都是一个全新的开始,就像一张白纸。你想怎样度过你的每一天?把它想象成一匹白色的布——你想在上面画上什么,你能实现什么?如果你消极地醒来,很大可能就会让这一整天都蒙上深色的基调,而你的画布上也不会体现出希望、快乐和喜悦。
canvas n.帆布,油画布
