I am part of the generation that begins any new venture by praying to God.
Thanks, God!!
I have been writing on platforms like Medium, Linkedin, Twitter, Quora, and received so much love from you guys that I thought why not, start a newsletter.
Not sure about you, I am a huge fan of newsletters. When you publish posts on social media platforms it is read by the entire world, but the newsletters are meant for a limited few.
Only a selected bunch read it, which makes it extra special. There is a personal touch while writing them.
I never thought I’ll have my newsletter, but thanks to some amazing people who volunteered to read more of my boring stuff (Best Of Luck👍), the dream has finally come true.
As of now, 16 daring souls have signed up. A few of them with very questionable usernames🤔, but they are my friends and no one else will mock them (Except me. Seriously guys who uses livehard, jazzy in their usernames? But don’t worry your embarrassments are safe with me.)
Still, 16 is a big number. I have 7 followers on Twitter, that’s more than 100% growth.
Publishing a weekly newsletter is an arduous task. However, anything which makes us uncomfortable helps us grow.
Reading this might also be an arduous task (LOL!), but it will help you grow.
What will the newsletters be about?
I have absolutely no idea🤔
My goal is for anyone who reads this to feel a little better about themself. If you smile by the end, I will consider my job done (You can wish me good fortune🤲).
I assume my newsletter will mainly talk about fitness, gratitude, kindness, family, friends, work ethics, and updates from my personal life.
People compliment me for my book, movie, and song recommendations. Therefore I will also add the best lines I read in the week or a funny video or anything that left an impact on me.
I won’t tell you, your life is shit, or what you ought to be doing. The world is already doing that.
What I will do, is encourage you to accept the ugly truths, and work on them.
I observe people around me who want to do things. They begin the process and end up hitting the stop button.
All they need is a minor push, and I hope to provide that.
Together we will convert the stop button into a snooze.
In all, the newsletter will be a humble reminder to get your life in order. It will be informal, written in a passive tone, and will reignite your love for life.
When will the newsletters be published?
10:30 am Saturday, Indian Standard Time
Start your weekends with a nice vibe.
(For my US friends, I don’t know the exact time it will be delivered. Please check your inbox on Saturdays.)

If you had a bad week just remember how lucky you are. Take a deep breath and hug yourself.

Your Turn
I have been contemplating for a while to embark on this journey. A couple of days back I read a quote by Paul Coelho,
“If it's still in your mind, it is worth taking the risk”
And that was the Aha moment, I knew I had to do it now.
I am sure you have a few targets for yourself which you have been avoiding.
Maybe getting up early, eating healthy, or working out.
The title says To New Beginnings, this is the time you too start working on them. At least give it a try.
Final Words
One of my favorite Jim Carrey quotes is
“The effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is.”
I have a contagious positive vibe which I assume reflects in my writings. I just wanna become a better person and help you be the same.
Thank you, once again to everyone who signed up for the pilot program🥺, we begin this journey together. I will hold on to you guys like a child holds his dad while riding a scooter.
Until next week, Houdoe!
Houdoe, is Dutch dialect for saying bye, bye till the next time. But it has nothing to do with English it's a kind of bye-bye wish and stands short for "Be good for yourself as to others and good things will come to you in return."
PS: This was written by a single person with the help of Grammarly, and there might be minor mistakes. I hope you ignore them and appreciate the effort.
