So what is Rosh Hashana, the head of the year? It is the time where we think about the past year and think about the coming year. It is the time where we formulate thoughts that create a vision of how we want to be and of how we imagine the world to be.

Everyone has ideas of how they want to be, of things they want to accomplish, of the impact they want to have on their surroundings. Thoughts about being a better friend or mother or father. We have thoughts about what we want to do with our careers. We have thoughts of maybe starting a new business. Thoughts of getting in physical shape or of getting in spiritual shape.

Rosh Hashana is the time of year when we are all great. We have lofty thoughts swirling around in our heads and are ready to take action to make it happen. It is like the first day of the baseball season when everyone is in first place.

The question is what will become of all those thoughts? It is exciting to visualize and think about our great successes. It’s a whole other world implementing them and taking steps to reach our goals. So lets celebrate the Head of the Year (Rosh Hashana) by using our heads and dreaming big for ourselves and for the world. Then let’s take the steps necessary to make it happen!
