Contained inside the house in most times of the community quarantine to follow the rules can only give you the impression that 2020 has been a dark episode. You'd never like the chapter especially after coming from the last days of 2019 empty handed as Typhoon Ursula wrecked the island and the livelihood that lies underneath.
Not until a little gleam of light gives you another opportunity to look at the deeper meaning of the situation. Not in the mind of questioning "why" anymore but in the intention "how" to carry on with a brand new outlook.
Life has been greatly generous before everything ran out. The life convenience run out, the opportunity to quickly bounce back run out, the people whom you depend on at some point run out. Thanks heavens that the creative mind, the flexible mind did run out. Flipping the dark chapter to sneak into a small streak of light is a skill, an acquired knowledge, if not a natural strength.
It's not a pain to realize that sometimes we need to be strong and become a "pain in the ass" to others to hurt their ego only to deliver our purpose. Simon Cowell's harsh and straightforward approach makes some people hate him though we literally know that he is loved by many for putting up his results. What is the matter that matters here? Take no shit with people who don't take a shit. The "better" person takes criticisms or corrections as an opportunity to learn and grow than hate the critic. Own personal results define us as a person, not by what they say about you. Mind only what makes sense.
Get no stress by people who don't matter. We don't need to be a universal pleaser, that's hard to do. Whoever matters to you, that's where you can only adjust the focus. Bond with something you call family or friends not necessarily with everyone but with who matters by this moment. Life is short-lived to pretend that "not ok" is ok. Anything broken needs replacing or to be put aside. If time takes you back somewhere else in the future where you can fix stuff, let the flow of the universe come into you. Do not force to be good today if it counters the flow of your settling emotion.
Let 2020 be. Saying this makes me appreciate the swings of the pandemic. Without the intention of restarting a new career, an opportunity flashed in front of you after failing to chase up what is the original target. The universe has ways to take you outside your comfort zone. Then you later realize that something badly needed you why you are there trapped between the situations than you thought you put yourself there because you need something. This I call unrealized passion paving the way.
You thought you're good to take the slow pace now, give yourself a well-deserved break...but what in the world it's so hard to get there. Now, after hammered by covid life learnings, the easiest and stress free way to get answers is just by stop questioning. Just sail along, flow along...will see you there when we both arrive at the same mindset.
