A Spark of Something Different

As the Sun starts a new, yet similar, journey to the one it just finished, many aim to start a new, yet different, journey to the one they just ended.
So many different take-offs are about to be taken - but what have you decided to change on this 365-day period? What have you decided needs a cut, and what needs a start?
Have you drawn guidelines? Have you set rules? Have you REALLY decided to flip your life over and start a brand new 'you'? What were the things you decided you'll do to glimpse the spark of something new on this venture?
I know you think it's going to be hard to get over this bad habit, or to leave the bad influence. To start exercising and eating healthy; to end a toxic relationship; to quit smoking; to take that ONE step to Allah. But is any take-off EVER easy?
Just think about it: you're on a plane for the first time.
This time, though:
The sounds you're hearing, they are actually of the people letting you down.
And the pain you're feeling, that is about to be the reason you burst, is just temporary.
Because once you're up there, it's all over.
The screams die down, the pain is gone like it was never there, and you're filled with the pleasure of finally getting through this misery.
But, the real question is, are you ready for take-off? Or will the fear of the quickly-ending moment make you stand back forever?
Think. Breathe. Start over. Repeat, no matter how much you fall :)!
Have a good embark.
