At the beginning of each year, we make new year’s resolutions. We promise ourselves that this is the year when everything will be different. This is the year we will change our life for the better. But, alas, most of the time, we are only able to follow through in keeping these resolutions for a few weeks, or a few months at the most, if we’re lucky. We fall into the same black hole over and over again. We give up, and even though we do not achieve our goals, we convince ourselves that we tried and that we did our best. But, we feel defeated, weak, incapable of accomplishing anything, and worst of all, we start doubting ourselves and our abilities losing hope.

Now that the egregious 2020 year is over, and 2021 has just started, once again we all find ourselves in the same predicament. We have new hope that the new year will be better than its predecessor. We are making new year’s resolutions and counting on the fact that 2021 will bring happier and healthier times to this world.

Though we don’t really know what 2021 will bring, no matter what we have to face in the future, good or bad, what we can do to make this a better year is to be kind to each other and understand that there are no “enemies.” We are all on the same side…the side of humanity trying to survive.

We all want the same things for 2021…health, peace, happiness, prosperity, and love. We all want to be able to live a normal life where we are free and able to do what we want to do without any fear. There will always be those people who will want to drag you down, be it with their bad attitude, their unsupportive words, lack of understanding, and even jealousy. Instead of falling into their negativity trap, increase your positive energy level through strong affirmations so much so that you can transform any negativity coming your way. By doing so, you can not only help them change their attitude, but you can also help yourself become stronger and able to steer your life into the right direction for 2021 and beyond. Never lose hope!

Here’s to a bright and healthy 2021!
