What You Got, What You Missed in The Year 2020

Hello all, you might have guessed it what my write up will be, based on the title of the story. Yes, it is all about 2020. But neither I am going to talk about Covid cases, remedy for Corona nor about vaccine. We have done that enough throughout the year. Here we are almost on the edge of bidding adieu to 2020 and it is the high time we look back to realize what you missed, what we gained.

There are mainly three categories of people emerging out in 2020.

Proactive and positive Balanced Worrying and negative

I want to explain three of these categories in details. You can see where you stand.

Proactive and Positive: These people have been disciplined, focused and always conscious in their lifestyle. Because they have been maintaining a healthy body and mind even before pandemic, saw a positive effect in 2020. They remained positive and focused. They utilized this golden time of staying inside into a fruitful one by enhancing their personal and professional skills. They accepted the whole deadly scenario as it is, saw it as opportunity and moved forward. They became happy as they got much time to stay with their families. They devoted their time in family, professional and personal life. They read less junk news about the outside scenario and took proper precaution while going out for necessary purpose. They tried out different and innovative ways to keep themselves motivated and work efficiently.

2. Balanced: The people in this category have been maintaining a balanced life. Even though they saw threatening scenario outside their home, they keep calm in their mind and work towards their goal. But they always keep a little fear in the mind about the Covid and usually restricted themselves in going out to most of the places. They have been keeping track of Covid cases and numbers yet did not let the information becoming a hamper in their day to day life. They are worried for their near and dear ones. Although they have done many of their pending work, enhanced their skill in their hobby but still at the end of the year, they feel that they could have done more.

3. Worrying and negative: These people are losing their time and energy big time this year. 2020 turns out to be a total waste for them. They have been worrying for unnecessary reasons and because of this attitude they have developed a negative mindset over a period of time. They got so much scared from the situation that they have restricted themselves in a cocoon which in turn affected their mental sanity in an adverse way. They see threat and fear in everything. They did not utilize the time in any progressive work and instead kept themselves busy in worry business.

Now with the above categorization, we all can identify ourselves where we fall. 2020 is the year to make a conscious shift in mind how to handle a complicated and pandemic situation like this. It may be virus today, it could be natural calamity tomorrow, it could be a family disaster in future. The better we handle our mental state, better will be the effectiveness of our time and energy and hence less will be the regret in future. We all realize by now how much important our health is which many of us were ignoring in the past.

Problem comes and goes but the mental health and sanity should remain undisturbed. But it is not easy. It takes long time and effort to establish that seed in your mind and let it grow to tackle life problems.

Those who are handling the global pandemic well have the trick to counter and tackle any such situation coming in their life.

Those who have wasted the whole year thinking what would happen, should start pondering that they still have time for progressive work.

We all wish 2021 would a peaceful year where fear and anxiety are less and more happiness spreading across the world.

I still believe people who are with humanity will win against all the evil minds of the world.
