"It is also a time when many people question whether they have the innate capacity and are adequately prepared to cope with the various and often formidable challenges that lie before them in the new year and beyond. To be sure, ringing in the "New Year" brings with it a wide mix of emotions: some exhilarating and hopeful, others debilitating and discouraging, all stressful in their own way."
"Against the backdrop of many events over the past year, there are warning signs on the horizon that warrant serious concern across society at large as well as in the American and global economies. Even people who are fortunate enough today to be gainfully employed and live in places that could be described as safe and secure are not necessarily "happy" in the face of so much change taking place, coupled with the uncertainty of what may lie ahead."
The beginning of a new year provides an opportunity to reflect on life and to make resolutions about intended changes. People often question whether they have the capacity and preparation to face formidable challenges in the coming year. Celebrations of the new year create a wide mix of emotions, from exhilaration and hope to discouragement and stress. Recent events reveal warning signs that warrant concern across society and the American and global economies. Many who are employed and live in secure places still feel unhappy amid rapid change and uncertainty affecting personal and work lives. Exercising the freedom to choose one’s attitude toward circumstances enables meaning, resilience, and true optimism.
