THE YEAR OF HIGHS AND MANY LOWS

 2020 The End of Yet Another Era


Everybody in life reaches a point where they face both Highs and Lows, life is not always roses and peaches and neither is it always gloomy and painful. You ought to go through both phases in life because both serve as a test, when you are at your highs always remain humble and at your Lows always remember that lows don’t last forever. Throughout this year I’ve learnt to be more appreciative of what I have than to be stuck thinking of all that I want, I’ve grown to appreciate the little things and realized that faith carries us even in the most painful times of our lives.

I used to love the beach and how the sound of waves and water splashing on rocks echoed nothing but peace and calmness into my ears, for so long I would see meditation on television and not know it’s importance in my daily routine until this year. 2020 made me appreciate even the sound of birds chirping and the peaceful sound of trees and the water running down the river. This year made me aware of the little things that nature has for us to help ease the mind. Let me flashback to my 2020.

Saying 2020 was a struggle for many is an understatement, This year was tough and draining both mentally and emotionally. Not everyone could have foreseen the hardship that this year had in Store for us but very few were fortunate enough to have been prepared for it all. 

From schools closing to businesses shutting down. Lockdown levels that forced us to face every single challenge head-on instead of sweeping it under the rug. Mental breakdowns, depression, stress became a norm for many. It was death after death, loss of those we even thought would stand the test of time. Anxiety was at its all time high for others as job loss became a thing. From bad decisions and fallouts, mistakes and so on.

I guess all in all 2020 was not what anyone had on their resolution list if that’s still even a thing because if anything nobody really got what they wanted. So what has the year taught you?. For me it actually showed me that with all that I am and that I could be, I’m definitely not incharge and anything could happen and within a blink of an eye things could change, forcing each and everyone of us to adapt, refocus and start up fresh. So take what 2020 was as a learning curve, align yourself with all that is good and positive. Look at each day as a brand new start to life and work on yourself every single day until you get it right. You can do it, if only you can start..

2021 is a chance to refocus and start over.
