Rainer Maria Rilke - And now we welcome the new year. Full of things that have never been
Episode 732
Thursday, 1 January, 2026
Welcome to The Daily Quote, I'm your host Andrew McGivern bringing you the show designed to kickstart your day in a positive way..Today's quote comes from the poet Rainer Maria Rilke, who once said:"And now we welcome the new year. Full of things that have never been."Think about that for a second. Full of things that have never been.Not full of recycled dreams. Not full of reruns. Full of things that *have never existed* until you create them this year.That's the real magic of the new year. It's not about erasing who you were yesterday. It's about recognizing that today contains possibilities that literally didn't exist until this moment.You know what I love about this quote? Rilke doesn't say "full of things you haven't done yet." He says "things that have never been." That's bigger. That's not just about *your* fresh start – it's about what you might create or discover or experience that's completely new to the world.Maybe it's a friendship you haven't formed yet. A skill you haven't learned. A conversation that changes everything. A version of yourself you haven't met.This year isn't a test you can pass or fail. It's a blank canvas. And the paint hasn't even been invented yet.So today, don't just think about what you want to accomplish. Think about what wants to be born through you. What has never been before that's waiting for you to bring it into existence.That's it for today. I'm Andrew McGivern – I'll see you in the next one with another Daily Quote.
