According to chinese zodiac the year of the rat is 2020, the year of a new beginning. After getting chewed by the adventures of this year 2020 from health, politics, pedophiles to planet conjunction. We all had to stay home to enjoy our families like we never did before. It’s like nature, God or whatever you want to call the higher power knew that we needed a break from our busy life styles. We all were living our lives going through the rat race pleasing others doing everything in our power to keep up with Bills and Jones. We never realize the importance of the present, we never understood the meaning of mindfulness.

We had to slow down to know what’s important in each of our lives. It could be from family or anything you took pride to build. When you are constantly thinking about the future or making sure you are prepared and set for the future. It is human to make mistakes we are set and programmed to think that way. We forget about what’s in front of us, we forget about what’s around us. It is never enough, we always feel like the sky is the limit . Woooow 😳🤯 but wait!!! let’s analyze this since Covid19 hits the world by surprise.

Thinking and Wisdom has become the real brand new trends. In terms of thinking about how the sky is the limit and that nothing is enough took a big shift. People were confused about what to do, they look for everything from alcohol to natural outside power hoping to make them feel better or escape the current situation. After multiple arguments and disagreements maybe a couple fights. We all have realized that we have to think differently to change each of our world, since we create our destiny.

Yes we create our destiny, yes we set the path. Before all this poetry we have to construct a rigid inside to overcome the exterior forces or obstacles that comes our way. We have to remember nothing is physical anymore, we have to go inside of our selves to project the light that we are. It is the year of a new begining, wich means leaving everything that no longer serves us behind. How do we do that? is taking it very slow one day after another in everything we do.

How do we become a member of this inspirational trend? We have to know how to think, when you are thinking that means you are using your brain to question the narrative. Unfortunately thinking in this day and age, it is not a easy task nor a skill for some people.

“You have a brain and a mind of your own. Use it and reach your own decisions”. Napoleon Hill

Reaching your own decisions requires wisdom, and the ability to make a difference from right and wrong, it is the quality of having good experience and good judgement. In this age of information it is crucial to have wisdom. Having wisdom can help us with making decisions without any influence using facts and logic to calculate an outcome.

In conclusion stay grounded, there is a lot of confusion out there. Don’t be thirsty and chase the impossible, look within seek wisdom. Take this time to reflect and rebuild your self. Be positive the sun will always shine after the storm. 2021 will be a victory, become the best that you can be and start within to overcome the world’s chaos.
