can you believe it is august already?! this year is flying by under the radar. so many things have happened on a larger scale that all of us can relate to one another to some extent. 2020, the year of the covid lol. counting august, we have 5 months left in this year. we might as well make the most of it. 2020 has been good to me though. graduated college. stocks been up. been in communication with mom and dad a lot more. due to quarantine, spent more time with bagel. when i look at things from that perspective, i can appreciate this year as a whole. is it me or when you focus on the positive, more positive happens? bad things happen, terrible things occur, but a positive mindset will always assist in coping with the darker times of this reality. it’s all about dealing with emotions in a manner conducive to one’s wellbeing. many people act out of emotion which creates situations filled with tension, resentment, and judgement. people have to find ways to get the best of their emotions rather than to let their emotions get the best of them. i guess what i’m saying is, with everything going on, we can still be good, do good, and feel good. it’ll take a lot of mental exercise and work, but we can still live our best lives despite things we cannot control.
enlightenment is a life-long battle, but a battle well worth the victory.
