In all sincerity, keeping busy, or being busy often makes it feel like time flies without anyone's permission or consideration. It's been a dicey year becaus adjusting from being locked down to being in the thick of things again hasn't been easy. 


2021 has been so far revealing and in just 6 months if feels like the effect of corona has been continously niggling; I wouldn't even talk about the Inflation rocking the economy, it feels like changing and just in the beginning of 2020 everybody believed they'd have the most iconic year of their lives but then the rise changes and it feels like we're making resolutions but the universe keeps changing them and turning the tide.

I learnt to live the previous five-months of this year one day at a time, this was as a result of the fear of uncertainty. It was difficult to make solid plans because every now and then, the government threaten to lock the country down and this is why i've taken time to put my long term goals on hold and try to actualise my short term plans first and foremost. 
I live in a country where you're totally responsible for yourself and that's why absolute independence in all aspects for me is my biggest goal in the long run. 


Not to deviate, the year currently has seven months to go and throughout the seven months **I want to dedicate them at staying safe and staying alive**; this might actually never make sense to someone whose plans are to get married, have children, become a business owner or even go into other solid recognisable venture but then the truth is that most of these plans centers around being alive to actualise them. 

This is threatning ills and all, sometimes we make plans without looking at circumstances around us and this are why people end up with broken or unfufilled resolutions. They make these resolutions without considering the underlying factors that might make it sucessful or fail. 


 Entering 2021, I had no direction, no sense of completness but then during these five months of the year i've been able to settle down to define what I want. I wouldn't fully be going into details but then with what I am currently caught up with, my main focus is getting myself unburdened of my commitments and prepare for a much definitive year ahead of me.

 I use to feel this year was generally for me to plan ahead of next year, so because I generally do not want to place tangible structure this remaining months rather I see it as an opportunity to get myself mentally ready for 2022. This entails being in good health, in sound mind and the best of capacity as well. 


Finally, I believe plans can change, 7-months is a lot of time but then going forward, survival is the goal, staying mentally positive and finding the motivation to stay alive. So many people have found it difficult to maintain that level of motivation and I think this is actually necessary to maintain a certain level of positivity to function really well in life.


 We live in challenging times and  sure many people can actually understand this. The choice of wanting to use the whole year to find and make the right choices that would ensure survival. Making concrete plans for the remainder of the year isn't it for me, thats why I want to achieve the littler things throughout the rest of the year. Strive towards spirituality and self discovery.
