🌱 Start Where You Are 🌱

New year knocks with glittered shoes,
Carrying planners, goals, and grand debut cues.
Resolutions line up, well-dressed, tall,
“New me, new habits, I’ll do it all!”

Gym shoes whisper from dusty shelves,
Journals promise reinvented selves.
Monday smiles, January swears,
“This time I’ll change, I’m fully prepared.”

But life chuckles softly, stirring its tea,
“Dear heart, why wait for a calendar key?”
You don’t need fireworks, a flawless start,
You only need courage—and an honest heart.

Start where you are, not where you pretend,
Not at the finish, not around the bend.
If all you have is tired and trying,
That’s still a beginning—stop underestimating.

If your best today is getting out of bed,
Or choosing kindness over words unsaid,
That counts. Oh yes, it truly does.
Progress doesn’t always arrive with a buzz.

Rome wasn’t built with a vision board,
Nor was peace found by racing toward.
It grows quietly, one small brave act,
One step that says, “This is where I’m at.”

So make resolutions, dream big, aim high,
But don’t miss the magic passing by.
Before chasing stars or a brand-new plan,
Start right here… right now… just as you can.

✨ Thought to ponder:
What if the most powerful resolution isn’t changing everything—
but gently beginning with what you already are?
