The year 2026 is in its infancy. It has just been born. Its air of grandeur, transformations, acrobatics, and successes, its ups and downs and novelties, is new. Will that be true? Or are we simply living in a world of illusions, and will some radical change surprise us in a different way?

 

However, we have dreams that are conveyed through thought and the desire to improve our lives. We can never lose hope.

New Year's resolutions are meant to ignite our desire for change, a change that symbolizes the redemptive arrival of a period of renewal—something truly inspiring and authentic. We believe that, in the blink of an eye, we will accomplish many things that would otherwise take time to materialize because trying to turn the page on the calendar immediately requires a great deal of effort and boldness. 

For example: it's so easy to say "I'm going to lose weight!" but, being on a diet, you must remember that it involves months of struggle and self-denial, like everything else in life.

​

But I'm not being negative. What I'm proposing is to always keep our feet on the ground without waiting for a new year to make definite decisions that, in the end, turn out to be false resolutions, without goals. We must make decisions daily. Don't wait

​

We must be attentive all year round, friends, looking at things from a permanent reality, wanting to move forward in any project or personal decision so that those desires are valid three hundred and sixty-five days a year.  

​

What matters most is the inner conduct we owe to ourselves, to our desire to progress, to be humble of heart, open to generosity toward the vulnerable people of the earth. Trivial things are fleeting, they don't stand still, they are always changing so that people spend more money on new furniture, clothes, shoes. Presenting yourself to society doesn't mean you are more or less successful; it signifies ambition and striving. Be simple, then; there is nothing more pleasant than being yourself.

​

Romans 12:2 warns us: Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. 

​

Being yourself means being indifferent to the designs of the world; there is nothing more pleasant than making decisions that increase self-esteem, the courage to express yourself and go from one place to another without thinking about criticism, hypocrisy, but being the one who carries out your own life without depending on the results that change when being unprepared. 

​

Being yourself means finding that everything in your life has meaning despite the changes the world makes against man.

​

However, the Word of God does NOT tell us to “be yourself,” but it does say to be true to your thoughts, your heritage, your unique gifts, and to focus on God's will; sometimes denying yourself the desire to be better than others or to get ahead of the world. Show yourself by example through good works done in love

​

Water your garden with the tears you shed in 2025 and plant new seeds in your fertile soil. Make it happen: think, give, donate, and the rains will come to refresh you. 

​

The Word of God says in Proverbs 4:23: Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Happy New Year 2026, friends. Blessings.
