COVID has changed the way I look at tomorrow
I have been feeling clueless about the future and I am sure that I am not alone. There are things in life that I am mindful and thankful of but with all the unpredictability around, I am scared that will I lose, what I have, tomorrow.
There was nothing intentional
Is today, the way life is, is this how I wanted things to be at this point in my life. I did have blurry ideas about how I wanted things to be but there was no concrete or intentional thought process about it.
Am I feeling disappointed with how things could have been but I never tried enough to make it clear and work on it?
I am grateful
With this difficult time, we all are in right now, with COVID and people losing their lives and families struggling to survive. I still have enough in life where I don’t have to go through those struggles, I can be at home.
Even though I have been sick with COVID in the last few weeks but I still had enough things to take care of myself and rest to get better. There are always things that you can be grateful for and there are always things that you can complain about.
Whether you choose to complain or be grateful, it will define what tomorrow holds for you. One big thing that I have learnt through this experience and this new way of life is, there is no tomorrow. Tomorrow is not guaranteed and we get to live today and the moment we are in right now.
Act today
If you have big plans for tomorrow and you are trying to live them today, get over it. Enjoy what you have today and what you can do today for your big dreams. It is all in the now, don’t dream, just take action right away and try to make those dreams a reality.
The vision of the future is always blurry and nothing happens exactly as it is planned.
And that is what life is all about, if everything had to happen as planned, life would be too boring and that would not be the life worth living.
2021 has been even worse so far
If you thought 2020 was the worst, 2021 has been even worse for many parts of the world, specially where I am, in India. We started this year with a hope of a better year and this has been even worse than what it was in 2020. There is so much negativity around, so much bad news, that sometimes I start questioning humanity itself.
We have grown to be so much selfish in our own ways that we are struggling to cope with the mess that we have created. There are so many global problems and there have always been, it is the consequences that are high now.
This is just a random note, something that is in my head for a long time and there is no structure to it. I am in a mixed emotion, grateful for what I have but I expect more from life more from us as humans. Will we be able to take this time forward with us and come out as unified and less selfish?
