A New Year signals a fresh start for many of us, the chance to clear out the old and start again while looking to the future. Forget the cliched resolutions, forget the pressures to be doing certain things. What do you want from the year ahead? Is there anything you want to change, like your perspective, your job, your daily routine? Is there anything you want to focus on more, like family time, a hobby, having more fun? Look at the things you can do in your life, no matter how small, and take back a little control. Here are 16 quotes to empower you to write your New Year and make it your own.

Best wishes for the year ahead Caz.
Fun is my focus this year as well as my usual relaxing and taking time out.
Those were awesome. Thanks for sharing and Happy Writing!
These are super, Caz. I most appreciated 4, 7, and 16. And I wish you the best of them all.

Those are good.
I’ve already had one of the most memorable weekends of my life just a few days into the New Year… I’m not sure if that means that the rest of 2023 is going to suck by comparison, or if it’s just going to keep getting better and better…
Great quotes. Words to live by.
Have a fabulous weekend, Caz. ♥
Such encouraging quotes, Caz! Much appreciated. Love, Tamara
These are some awesome quotes for the new year, Caz. May 2023 be a year full of blessings and love for you. xoxo
I love how you did these Caz. All great quotes to bring the new year in with!~ ❣️
#4 reminds me of a thought I had a while back: If you’re not making mistakes, it’s because you aren’t doing anything; and that is probably the biggest mistake of all!
❤️&🙏, c.a.
I love most of them but the first one is so simple and really speaks to me. I want to write my year but I am having problems, maybe it will help me. Thanks! Happy New Year!
These are great finds, Caz. I love the all. Excellent quotes for January. I especially like number 4 about making mistakes. When we make mistakes, we learn and can grow. I often knock myself down when things don’t work out as they should. My hubby once told me not to as a mistake made is a lesson learned. I liked that. I still knock myself down though, so I appreciate your reminder with this post.
Wishing you a very happy new year, Caz. I hope it’s kind to you xx
Great quotes Caz! My favorite ones are number 2, number 4 and number 5. Thank you so much for this inspiring post!
Happy New Year Caz! Thanks for the fab quotes xxx
Thank you Caz for sharing the words to lift us up and take ownership of ourselves as we kick off the New Year!
Oh, Caz! I am a sucker for a good quote, and you have opened my heart to the new year with these 16 glorious ones! Thanks for sharing! And happy new year!
Thank you for sharing these. I love a a great quote!
Charlee: “We think the new year is like a nice clean litter pan!”
Chaplin: “Yes, it’s just waiting for us to come along and leave our marks in it!”
Lulu: “And then have someone else clean up after you?”
Chaplin: “EXACTLY.”
I was doing fine until I got to the quote that said “Start again” several times, and now I have the old Billy Idol song “White Wedding” stuck in my head …
I love all these quotes, Caz, but my favourites are 6, 7 and 9. Thank you for the inspiration and the encouragement to begin the New Year on a positive note. I hope you are well, or as well as you can be. I’ve missed your posts, although I know you haven’t written for a while. I’m looking forward to reading more from you whenever you feel ready. Sending much love and healing, comforting hugs Xxx 🥰💕
