When Does the Year Really Begin?

When does the year really begin—January or spring? On this episode of On Mile 3, Brother ha2tim breaks down a common argument heard every new year and flips it by looking at nature, the winter solstice, and the way real growth actually happens. This isn’t about debate—it’s about understanding cycles. Using the sun as a teacher, Brother ha2tim explains why January represents infancy, rebuilding, and quiet power, while spring is the visible result of work already done. If you’ve ever felt pressure to “hit the ground running” in January, this episode will help you rethink timing, patience, and preparation. Walk with me.
