We are at the dawn of beginning a new decade. And because of how the number 2020 appears, we became so eager to kick-start the new year with a feeling of expectations, and desire certain things to happen. 20years ago, in 2000 the world was a completely different place than it is today. Don’t ask me what my age was at that time (lol). Global Pandemic? I bet you, no one saw it coming even though we all had countless plans and ambitions of getting to the next level. It has been 3months since the lockdown due to Covid-19 and the need for people in the world to shelter in place for safety so we don’t expose ourselves to the deadly virus. Listen to me friends, I know you are worried that all of your XYZ are yet to accomplished, you’re tensed, stressed and depression is beginning to set in and you are at the point of giving up on yourself. 


Relax, take a deep breath, breathe so you can think positively and not allow negative thoughts and unwanted energy to creep in. Don’t be anxious and if after lockdown you have no new skills or hobby, it’s okay.  Just surviving or managing the situation without going crazy in itself is enough proof of strength and resilience.


However, getting through the tough times in life can be just a little bit easier when you can rely on certain methods. When you can fall back on strategies that have worked throughout the ages, the tough times might not seem so tough. That’s not to say that life’s difficulties will immediately disappear. No, they won’t. You’ll simply realize the importance of the beauty, simplicity and miracle of life.


Look, I’ve had my fair share of tough times in life. I’ve suffered through the pain and torment of failure. I cannot even begin to describe the heartache that I have been through. So, I know how it feels. I know that life isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. But I do know that life is what you make of it.


The point? Whatever we’re going through today, will surely come to an end. so many people had their own share in the year 1918, live with it and came out stronger. So regardless of how much difficulty you’re facing, or how much strife you’re in at the moment, tough times don’t last. While I don’t profess to have all the answers, I do know a thing or two about disappointment and failure, and overcoming difficult circumstances in life. My main goal and purpose with this article is to share some of that knowledge and experience with you.


Gratitude is the quickest pathway to happiness and peace-of-mind. when you’re grateful, you’re far happier. When you’re trying to get through the tough times, you usually don’t rely on your gratitude. Usually, you rely on your resent, defaulting to your anger or upset, which is the quickest pathway to lead you further down the road of disappointment.


 Find every little thing you can be grateful for. You can be grateful for the air that you breathe, the blood pumping through your veins, your limbs, your fingers, your mind, the fact that you can read, write and reason, the clothes on your back, the food on your plate, the fact that you’re six feet above ground and have not been killed by Covid-19 is enough to thank God for. So be Hopeful
