Charm Bead Bracelets



2015 is a new year, new beginning and new way of life, i.e. if one chooses to do so. Ever heard of a character's narration in a drama, which describes what sunrise means. The exact translation is as follows:

"The more a city thrives, the more the line between day and night is blurred.  But as humans, regardless of how long we’ve been living in a world that’s operating 24/7, we’d naturally follow the rise of the sun and mark dawn as the start of a new day. You may say it’s our animalistic instinct, but I’d rather think that it’s a philosophical outlook we’re born with. Along the pavements of life, not everyone knows how to move forward. But the moment the sun rises above the horizon, it’s a new day. And then we’d have the right to tell ourselves: nevermind how the path was trodden before, it’s a new start. The end might not be what we’d want it to be, but when we decided that it’s a new start, and we took that first step, that’s a form of bravery. And that’s worth being proud of."

A new way of life, a new start is what one can choose for oneself. And to achieve it, one needs the courage to take the first step. It may not start on 1st Jan 2015 but it can start the moment one takes the first step. We cannot say for certain the pavements of life will be smooth sailing after taking the first step but at least we have chosen to a new start, no regrets later. And that is worth being proud of. :)

Depending on where fate leads us, one may rely on one's faith, principles and perseverance to ride through, albeit having bit of luck is always welcoming. Chinese Zodiac forecast said that I should wear a turquoise gemstone in 2015. That is how I ended up with Syndey Evan's website, and their charm bead bracelets. 




The bracelets can be worn individually or stack together, much like what the character said in the drama, human beings exist as individuals, but we influence and affect each other, such that, subconsciously, we grow, and change, again and again, which is what Heraclitus said "The one thing that is constant is change." Happy 2015 everyone.
