Alright, let me share something from my end of year routine, kinda related to that big fella, Tyson Fury, and the whole ‘Happy New Year’ thing.
So, it was New Year’s Day, or maybe the evening just before. Things were quiet, you know how it gets. Family stuff done, just relaxing, probably had too much food. I picked up my phone, doing that endless scrolling thing we all do.
Loads of ‘Happy New Year’ messages popping up, friends, family, random stuff. Then I saw one from Tyson Fury. Big picture, maybe with his family, big smile, wishing everyone a Happy New Year. Standard stuff, right?
First Thoughts
My first thought was, well, pretty basic. Just another celebrity message. But then it got me thinking a bit. Here’s this guy, heavyweight champion of the world, probably got everything he could want. Yet, he’s still there on social media, doing the same thing as your neighbor Dave down the street – posting a New Year greeting.
It felt… normal. Which is funny, considering his life is anything but normal compared to mine. Made me pause for a second.
Going a Bit Deeper
Then my mind wandered to his whole story. The massive highs, the really low lows we all heard about, and then clawing his way back. It’s quite the tale. Seeing his ‘Happy New Year’ post, looking all cheerful, made me connect it to that journey.
- You see the happy picture now.
- But you remember the struggles he shared.
- It sort of makes you reflect on your own year, the good bits, the tough bits.
Didn’t really inspire me to suddenly jump up and run a marathon or anything. It wasn’t like that. It was more a quiet moment of thinking, “Huh, resilience is a thing, isn’t it?” We all face our own battles, maybe not on his scale, but they feel big to us.
Putting the Phone Down
I didn’t spend ages analyzing it. Put the phone down after a bit. Went and made a cup of tea, I think. Just processed it quietly. It’s easy to just see the surface level with famous folks – the fights, the talk, the money.
But that simple ‘Happy New Year’ post, for whatever reason, just felt a bit more grounded. Maybe it’s the time of year. Everyone’s hoping for a good one, no matter who they are.
So yeah, that was my little practical observation. Just scrolling, seeing Fury’s post, and having a few thoughts drift through my head as the year turned over. Nothing earth-shattering, just a real moment sparked by a quick glance at a screen. Hope your New Year started alright too.
