What if 2020 isn’t cancelled ?

What if 2020 isn’t cancelled ?

What if 2020 is the year we’ve been waiting for ?

A year so uncomfortable, so painful, so scary, so raw that it finally forces us to grow

A year that screams so loud, finally awakening us from our ignorant slumber

A year we finally accept the need for change.

Declare change. Work for change. Become the change.

A year we finally band together, instead of pushing each other further apart.

2020 isn’t cancelled, but rather the most important year of them all.

2020 has brought us a lot of crisis. And a crisis is a complete waste if we don’t learn, grow from it. So what are you learning from 2020 ?

What are you learning from the Coronavirus pandemic ? What are you learning from the death of Mr Floyd ? What are you learning about how your company is reacting to these issues ? What are you learning from how the media are treating these crisis ? What are you learning from your heart ? From your feelings ? What have been your actions to fight in the midst of a crisis ? Have you felt fear, anger, misunderstanding, frustration,… ?

Deep questions which cannot go to waste. Let’s look for the answers. Let’s use our crisis for the benefit of becoming stronger, wiser, better.

I have made a resolution. And this resolution is for now. I will become a better man because of these crisis. I will not let them go to waste. I believe God is telling us something. We need to listen and learn.

I will not let 2020 go to waste.

In 2020, I will :

• Look at any discomforting situation, embrace it and learn from it
• Speak less and listen more
• Realize that many times I am wrong and it is ok
• Life is not as simple as a right answer and a wrong answer, but compromise is often the solution
• Learn from any situation, especially from crisis
• Listen to the suffering around me, see the people who need me the most, and truly make genuine efforts to impact positively their lives
• Love no matter what
• Seek understanding of others, especially people I disagree with
• Not let fear take over my life
• Recognize issues, my little life issues as well as the big society issues and know that there are solutions to each and every one of them. And these solutions are in me. I will look for these solutions and find them. I will implement them and make a difference in this world.

I know that by doing all that, 2020 will not be a waste but rather a wake up call. It will be a year I have become wiser, better, stronger.

What are you going to do with 2020 ?
