Already a week away from the fateful year 2020, as the light at the end of the tunnel, our eyes radiate with such joy that once again we can witness the beginning of a new year.
I don’t need to say that the year 2020 was a different year, after all, we took a shock in our lives, everything changed around us, our way of being and being, even the way we work.

We started to value more the small gestures such as hugging, affection, feeling the lack of our humanity, after all, who didn’t have the pain of not being able to kiss and embrace their neighbor anymore?

I could spend hours describing the consequences of the covid-19 pandemic in our lives, regardless of our race, religion, or culture we have all been hit directly or indirectly by covid-19. Each of us had our own experience with the year 2020.

This article aims to awaken the dear reader’s desire to do better and better in order to have the year 2021 full of peace, and prosperity.
As a simple and clear language, we present some aspects that can make our approach to the year 2021 more interesting.

We then dive into the suggestions below that can make our life happier in the year 2021 despite covid-19

Stay home.

This was the order of the day in 2020, and it still is in 2021, given the advance of the pandemic thousands of people are in confinement to reduce the spread of the virus.

Staying at home is not as easy as it seems after all the world is dynamic so is our life, families were not used to sharing the same space (home) for a relatively long period of time.

This lack of permanent contact in the same space with relatives triggered boredom, lack of orientation, stress, and violence in some cases in many families. The question then arises: How to make family life more pleasant?

Talk to your relatives

It even seems trivial or too simple. Maybe you wonder how dialogue can make my family life happier? How can dialogue, strengthen my family, make it more united?

I ask how are the great problems of humanity solved? Surely dialogue has proved to be the most effective method for resolving conflicts.
Families are closer and closer (physically) and at the same time more and more distant from each other (emotionally).
So take time to talk with the members of their families, this will allow each one to express their feelings, emotions.

So make good use of technology it can be useful to strengthen your family. Or it can be quite the opposite: it can harm your family. And in your case? Is technology helping or getting in the way?

Create an alternative source of income

If there is one damage that covid-19 has caused or has been causing, it is the slowdown of the economy of many countries, both in developed and developing countries.

With the confinement, many companies had to reduce the workforce, and even lay off. Unemployment has reached alarming levels in the hundreds and thousands of people who have lost their income.
So think about how you can make more money than working as a freelancer or sell some means you no longer need?

Changing the big challenge

Two things happen in our life or the universe or we are growing or we are dying. So your life is either going to progress or it is becoming more and more mediocre.
For us to have a full and harmonious life it is necessary to make changes in our way of acting, thinking, and understanding the world. Why?

When you change, everything changes. By philosophizing, I mean that great changes can only run in your life when you really change.
When do we really change? When we act when we go from thoughts to action when courage speaks louder than fear. Act, make it happen.

Be willing to do what you never did to live something you never lived.

Look beyond the obvious

If there is one quality that I love in me it is the capacity that I have to learn from the challenges that life presents me.

I like to see opportunities where there are challenges, I like to see opportunities not perceived.

So even with this pandemic where life seems to be falling apart every day try to see what opportunities the world is offering you because of the pandemic.

How about reflecting on the questions below:

Have you thought about how much time you never had to tell your loved ones?

How about taking the time at home to improve your skills?
Take a course?

Spend more time with your family?

Write a book?

Tidying up the garage?

That project that never advanced?

In the end, I could describe the infinity of things to show that 2021 can be different despite covid-19. But I tell you that the difference is in you, you are the one who determines what 2021 will be like.

Have discipline

I don’t know if you have noticed but in my articles, I like to ask questions, because I don’t want the dear reader to simply read the information, which we have prepared with great care, but that as he reads he meditates on some aspects of the article.

So I ask you Do you have discipline? Do you act with discipline? What is discipline?

Discipline is obedience to the set of rules and norms that are established by a certain group. It can also refer to the fulfillment of specific responsibilities of each person.

Our focus is self-discipline, that is, the order, rule, and responsibility that a given individual or group imposes, without the guidance or imposition of others.

Maintaining self-discipline is essential to achieve professional and personal goals, as it ensures the fulfillment of all responsibilities and commitments that will result in the success of certain tasks.
Maintaining self-discipline can still be related to the act of being constant, that is, dedicating oneself to the fulfillment of tasks to achieve a final objective.

Whether in personal or professional life, affective, the slow to develop self-discipline so that you can achieve your goals and have a happy life.

Share

Maybe you say but Fernando, share what? Well, I tell you everything, share love, money, affection, courage, honesty, peace, values, virtues in order all the good that your soul and human existence can give for the benefit of another.
By doing this we will transform not only our lives as well as the people around us, and we will be really happy people.

2021 It can be different only depending on your make it happens.
Tell me what is a bad or magnificent thing that happened to you in the year 2020?
