During these unprecedented times, we’re being forced to face multiple challenges. It is so hard not to fall into a pit of despair faced with so much unknown right at the moment. For me, it’s been a struggle.
It’s so easy to focus on what’s going wrong, rather than what could be going right. For the first time in my life, I’m now faced with pressing a reset button on everything I have known. Before the pandemic, there was a lot that I wanted to change about my life.
Even on the last night of my stay in Japan, I remember chatting a newly made friend that I didn’t want to go back to my old life back in Australia. There was a moment when I found myself with tears at the idea of it. That’s also the thing with travelling it changes you. It puts things in perspective.
Today, I took a moment to just breathe and reassess everything from a different perspective. I’ve come to realise all those factors that I wanted to change have now been wiped away. Of course, it wasn’t done in a way that I expected. And it definitely wasn’t the smooth transition that I had hoped for either. But like it or not, that’s just the way it is.
I’m now faced with a multitude of new possibilities, that if it weren’t for the pandemic, I’d probably still be plodding along and going around in circles. I have this opportunity for a fresh start. It’s a chance to retake control. To have clarity on what I want to live without and what I want to live with.
The coming weeks ahead will be challenging, but rather than go woes me; I should be going alright, let’s do this! So this afternoon, I did precisely that. For me personally, I now see this current situation as an incredible opportunity to reset everything and work towards truly achieving and obtaining my deepest desires.
Is it going to be hard? Hell yeah. But then again, the things worth fighting for never came easy. Despite everything that is going on, I’ve found this spark within that I’m determined to set ablaze. Or at least die trying to.
