Embrace a #Better2021

My 2021 word is EMBRACE. The last decade has transformed life and business into new realities with new challenges and opportunities. The year 2020 expedited this transformation with a lot of help from the pandemic. Starting the new year 2021 and a new decade in the 21st century, we must EMBRACE the new realities of everything that has changed and move on! No doubt 2020 was a strange, tough and stressful year but it also enhanced our resilience so that we can Embrace a #Better2021.

My 2020 word was PURPOSE. Some of my friends know that I talked about it a lot in 2020. I spent the whole year seeking it. Why are we on planet earth? Why do we have to work? What's our PURPOSE?....and so many more related questions and discussions happened in 2020.

Despite all the stress in 2020, I am satisfied that it helped me look for those answers. Such a quest is not productive in carefree times. Human nature is too strong to not to enjoy beautiful sunny days but instead ponder upon such mind draining questions. These require a different atmosphere. Most of the 2020 provided that.

So, here is what I found: There is no purpose worthy enough in this world without understanding and genuinely believing in faith in God. No other purpose is 'big enough' to justify our existence. We have to start from there and then everything else aligns and with His help we'll find all the answers. 

Once we see our purpose, we will start to appreciate the most valuable limited asset provided to us. Yes, that's the time. Time is there to fulfill our purpose and it is diminishing by the microseconds. No power on earth can stop that! Then we realize that each new hour, each new day and each new year is the utmost invaluable gift from the Creator so that we can fulfill our purpose. Only after embracing this we can see that we will have a #Better2021.

Embrace a #Better2021
