We arrived back at the end of the year, an imaginary time line that was on the calendar which is often used to restrict between past and future.
A momentum that can be used to bury the things that are not good in the previous year and look optimistically to the next year. Although we know that do not have to wait a year to make changes in life, because every moment is change.
Beginning of each year we will face in January. In ancient Roman mythology, known as a two-faced god. One facing forward and one backward.
To determine which front or rear, marked with a front-facing faces are always smiling and optimistic, while overlooking the rear always looked somber and sad. God named Janus, which can also mean the door, gate, gate or entry hall.
That’s why the first month of each year is called the month of January, Januarius mensis (Latin, in January) and this month could be said of two-faced. The face of one facing the previous year and the other to the current year.
Gods say two-faced Janus, but two-faced in the context of our time can run. Beginning of each year we usually have a new year resolution is obtained from the dualism of the past and future (with the stand of the past, we will reach the future) and pass the time in between. Struggling in the present.
Origin of the Moon Names
In this dating system or Gregorian calendar, a year consists of twelve months. Relationship between Kentalnya calendar with paganism beliefs (beliefs or deity worship) Ancient Romans could be seen from the names used.
The mention of the names of the month dedicated to honor the gods and worship as a sign to certain gods. Please note that the calendar has been revised several times, additions and improvements. Because the calendar initially came from the Roman calendar with only ten months of the year, beginning a new year begins in March.
This is closely related to season and influence with the administration of community life in Europe. Month of March (actually March 21) is the beginning of summer (summer equinox). Early summer was greeted with a celebration of joy because it is perceived as the beginning of a new life, after over 3 months of winter.
Thus, the arrival of summer was celebrated as the ‘New Year celebrations every year’. So, in chronological order we can not equate the similarities between the date in the past with the present. On January 1, at the time of Julius Caesar is different chronological today.
January, is the first month in the year of our Lord. Derived from the name of the god Janus, two-faced god, one facing forward and one facing backwards. God Janus also known as Door god. February, is the second month in the year of our Lord. Derived from the name Februs god, god of purification.
March, is the third month in the year of our Lord. Derived from the name of the god Mars, god of war. In the beginning, March is the first month in the Roman calendar, and in the year 45 BC Julius Caesar added January and February in front of him to become the third month. April, is the fourth month in the year of our Lord.
Derived from the name of Goddess Aprilis, or in Latin is called Aperire which means “open”. Allegedly associated with these titles which spring petals begin to open. Also believed to be another name of the goddess Aphrodite or APRU, the Roman Goddess of Love.
May, the fifth month in the Gregorian calendar. Derived from the name of the Roman Goddess of Fertility Nations, goddess Maia. June, the sixth month of the year of our Lord. Derived from the name of goddess Juno.
In July, is the seventh month of the year of our Lord. In this month’s Julius Caesar was born, because it was named as July. Earlier in July called the Quintrilis, which means the fifth month in Latin. This is because the Roman calendar was originally placed in March as the first month.
August, is the eighth month in the Gregorian calendar. As well as the name of July named after Julius Caesar, the month of August came from the name of the Roman emperor, ie August. In the beginning, when March was the first month, sixth month of March be called Sextilis.
September, is the ninth month of the year of our Lord. This month’s name comes from the Latin of September, which means seven. September was originally a seventh month in the Roman calendar.
October, is the tenth month of the year of our Lord. This month’s name comes from the Latin Octo, meaning eight. October is the eighth month in the Roman calendar.
November, is the eleventh month of the year of our Lord. This month’s name comes from the Latin November, which means nine. November is the ninth month in the Roman calendar.
December is the twelfth month or last month of the year of our Lord. The name of this month comes from the Latin Decem, which means ten. December was originally the tenth month in the Roman calendar.
From the mention of the names of the month, we learned that the ancient people really do not know the concept of the year, despite being familiar with the calendar. So really not the time, date, month or year that is important but how we respond when we’ve been through.
Not fun with a party or festivity in the new year we wait to create new momentum seems to be the year more special. Because in essence turn of the year’s calendar or no more than an imaginary line to remind us that the deadline will be over soon to be replaced with the next period.
Momentum to evaluate
Some time back we will arrive at the end of 2009 was replaced by the year 2010. At each end of the year is the right moment to evaluate what we’ve done this year.
Renungi, be aware and do better for next year. The time that has passed will not be back, that was why “Time is more important than money” rather than “Time is money”.
Do not regret what has happened if it was a bad thing, people do not have the power to turn back the clock. What matters is what we will do to him.
Brian Tracy, in his book “Change Your Thinking Change Your Life” says: In this life there are two time periods, past and future. The present is just a short moment soon passed. Therefore, you can choose whether you want to focus your attention on what has happened – something you can not change; or in your future – at all possible, and to the circumstances in which you have control to change it.
A sentence that was inspiring and motivating high. Indeed, humans can not infallible, therefore, than to dissolve in remorse we better prepare for the year 2010 with enthusiasm and optimism.
