2010: Will it be a roller-coaster ride?
by Manish Bundhun Filed under Are you ready for the new year?, Motivation, Personal Growth, The World!
Welcome back for another year’s ride! Welcome back for 2010 – a year filled with challenges! No, let me reframe this…welcome back for a year filled with opportunities!
2009 was an eventful year with its fair share of ups and downs and nothing indicates that 2010 won’t follow suit, if not further test our mettle. As the economic downturn spreads and recession reaches our various shores and businesses, we will certainly feel the heat and the pressure (many of us are already facing it)…but that is how you turn coal into diamond…under extreme heat and pressure.
It’s just a matter of perspective…of seeing the world through a different lens. In the midst of adversity lies opportunity…and I do believe that these difficult times will provide us with great opportunities.
1. opportunities to learn and grow from our mistakes, from others’ mistakes and from the tough experiences we undergo
2. opportunities to revisit and rethink our way of being, doing and having – it’s a good time for introspection towards self-development
3. opportunities to be more disciplined and laser-focused in whatever we do – so that we may achieve our goals and resolutions for the year
4. opportunities for acknowledgement and gratitude for whatever we are blessed with.
So let us be ready and greedy for opportunities this year! As we prepare ourselves for a turbulent ride this year, my wish to you is to simply enjoy the ride! And in Jan 2011, as you look back on 2010, you will say, yes it was a hell of a roller-coaster ride, there were ups and downs, it was tough, I outgrew it and I enjoyed it!
Welcome back for the ride in 20010! Cheers!
