The year 2019 is a year that will always remain a memory in my mind. As a matter of fact, it will be a memory on everyone's mind. A year full of heartache, mental health challenges, loss, grief, bankruptcy, abandonment and faith, just to name a few. For those of us that made it to 2022, this is a chance for new beginnings. This is a year to put our affairs in order, a year to stop procrastinating, a year to finally walk in our purpose.
Families were destroyed, legacies demolished, and life for some no longer made sense. For those of us that were not in a position like this, are we still going to live life recklessly? or are we going to prepare? One thing Covid 19 have shown us is that it is no respecter of a person, status, race, age or religion. We are so caught up in our own situations that we do not take the time to reach out to those in need. Are we that selfish?
Looking back at situations past and present, I have seen the good and bad of this pandemic, but I have also seen the good and bad of humankind. I have seen situations where food was prepared for the less fortunate, but those who did not need it partook. On the one hand, I saw finances made available to those that may have lost their jobs or businesses. But on the other hand, those who were financially stable accepted the finances and robbed others of a fresh start.
Let's put things in perspective. Many did not think they would ever be in the situation they are in today. Many others planned for situations like this. But how are we to move forward if we do not teach and help each other in moments of crisis? Are we to make a difference if we continue to be selfish instead of selfless? Let's make a difference. Let's learn from the past for a better future.
