Negativity is rampant out there right now. I am seeing an epidemic of people letting it run their lives. How many times have you logged into social media and seen this near the beginning of the year?
“This is going to be my year. 2020 watch out because I am doing everything I ever said I was going to do.” Then one thing happens, oftentimes something that doesn't even directly affect them and they automatically write off the rest of the year.
The truth of the matter is though, that the hiccups in life, the horrible things, the things that catch you off guard are oftentimes the things that make us grow and get better. How can you expand when nothing happens? So when your situation changes and things seem bleak, allow yourself to feel it but don’t let it stunt your growth.
As I write this at the end of March of 2020, so far this year we have had tensions with Iran, wildfires in Australia, a major refugee crisis, devastating Tornadoes in Nashville (where I am), and most notably the Coronavirus that has caused much of the world to go into quarantine. These issues can make things seem hopeless, but instead of retreating I want us to stand tall. I want us to look fear right in the eye and not break contact. Let it know you won’t stand down. Let it know that you are bigger and more powerful than it is.
We are stronger than our circumstances. We have something that others don't: the power to determine our destiny.
I said it on New Years Day and I will say it again, 2020 will be my best year. And I mean it.
