What Next?

BTS Quote J-Hope 

“Even when this rain stops, when clouds go away, I stand here, just the same.”

A year ago it would have been unimaginable, our world we found ourselves in. We were forced to face a number of challenges. So if you are reflecting on the year that was or contemplating the year to come, how do you approach the “what next?” For me, the “what next” is to live life and hopefully follow the “mantra” of my blogs “Finding Inspiration in the Gifts of Life” I know that it is a crucial year to rebuild and that I have to continue finding the inspiration to do just that. I find myself uplifted in the good that others do and it’s so much easier to also follow and contribute to the positivity of life in general.

I’ve read a number of blogs. Some I have found extremely interesting, other blogs brought about great motivation. Then there were blogs that helped with uplifting my spirits, some were informative, and I found myself learning so much. I also enjoyed reading blogs for recreational purposes and this also brought about therapeutic relief for my soul. I’m hoping to inspire and motivate others, but I also benefit through my writing. I do feel sometimes that I want to explode, but I’m thankful that I can get a grip of myself and bring my feelings under control (okay, most days I manage to get it under control).

It is important not to feel emotionally and physically bottled up. It can lead to an outburst that can compromise our health and our sense of overall happiness. Therefore, it’s important to consistently make good decisions in a crisis. I know that with the uncertainty it’s very hard indeed. 

Lockdown taught me vital lessons and it highlighted for me the need to maintain an open mindset. I hope to continue to live life, be generous, kind and contribute positively by making a difference to this world that we find ourselves in.
