It is a tough year for many peoples and will be a remarkable year in the history. The impact of COVID-19, almost hundred million people infected over two-hundred countries around the world and fatalities for 1.8 million people . It affects businesses, both enterprise and small-midsize, country GDPs and global economy.
But let us try to put aside all negativity and try to look on the positive side. There is always a rainbow at the end of every rain, and every cloud has a silver lining. I believe there is a tremendous opportunity waiting for us. Focus and keep going to the finish line.
For me, year 2020 is bringing a lot of a positive side that I kept it for the future.
1. LOVE. Always choose love. It could interpret as CARE. Whether for families, friends, colleagues, or people that you think they need it the most, just remember that the people that are the hardest to love are the ones that need it the most.
2. Focus on what is important. Relationship. This is the most important “thing” in our lives. Do not neglect, ignore, or dismiss the people who mean the most to you. Life is short. They will not always be there.
3. Reach out and show your empathy. This is a hard time for many (especially those that have lost loved ones and those that are alone). Everyone is doing the best they can with the “tools” they have at the moment, in fact many just don’t have the “tools”. So, remember to reach out to them and shower them with your love and care.
4. Be loving, instead of right. Forgive, let go and move forward. Do it for your own sake and good. Peace is something that you create based on the decision on every situation.
5. Stay away from debate. Stay away from discussing politics (that never ends well). Do not let anyone and or anything take your peace.
6. Be grateful for everything that you have, many are longing to have that.
As Plato once said, “Be Kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle”
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2021. Looking forward to a wonderful 2021, a year of breakthrough.
