Life in this "New World" 🤔

Cheers! We've reached Level 2, which simply means we're one step closer to our old-gold COVID-free world! I often reflect on how much this Pandemic has affected us, how much it has taught us, and how much we have learned about ourselves and our lives while fighting a global mission to save the world! When life has nearly come to a halt, our major life goals have taken a back seat, and the complexities of human survival have boiled down to staying in our bubble and practicing good hand hygiene, we certainly have plenty of time on our hands! Time that could be better spent or squandered complaining about how this whole situation has messed up our lives, when we all know we're all in the same boat!

It's natural to feel overwhelmed with so much time on your hands! All of the energy that is floating around the house must be constantly channeled. Self-discipline and self-motivation are required to achieve attainable goals, and it is also critical to reflect on what this Pandemic has taught us! Giving us so many one-time life experiences and so many changes to our definition of 'Normal,' to the point where 'Abnormal is the new normal,' I am sure we have all learned our lessons. So, this time, I wanted to share some of my "Pandemic lessons and realizations."

Here are some of my realizations:

1. I have a lot of realizations to share, but one of them is that COVID-19 is the loudest alarm I have ever heard or felt in my life. It assists me in being more responsible, understanding my limits, and adhering to all protocols. I realized that staying at home and bonding with your family is the most fulfilling feeling, rather than going out and meeting new people. That is why prioritizing your family is one of the most important things you should do because they are the only people you can rely on in good and bad times.

2. COVID-19 pandemic has led to a dramatic loss of human life worldwide and presently devastating our land. My realization is whatever happens God is always with us. In my own little understanding, I can prove that God is always present not only with me but with our entire family and friends. With all the trials, crisis, viruses, conflicts still our life is good and stronger even before.

3. Every step is a risk, weather you like it or not you will stay at home, unless you want to die quickly. It makes everyone of us unable to breathe and feel the stress. When going outside, a face mask and face shield are must. We were all terrified by the pandemic and we are not aware on what will happen next. This pandemic made me realize that we should be thankful on what we have, and always be grateful because we are still safe and alive and we should be thankful that none of our loved ones were infected by the virus.

4. Don't take things for granted. We couldn't agree more on this one than on anything else. Could we have imagined in our wildest dreams what 2020 would be like for humanity? No, that's correct. This teaches us not to take anything for granted in life. We must be conscious of what we are doing to the Earth, our country, our society, our relationships, and ourselves. We cannot deny that in order to be happy, we must be surrounded by happy people, have nice neighbors, live in a peaceful country, and live on a sustainable planet where resources are used wisely rather than exploited!

5. Finally, I give thanks to God since we are still healthy, living, and safe after two years of pandemic. I pray that individuals who are infected with this illness would be completely healed by Jesus' blood.

On this blog, learn to appreciate what you have while you have it. Being on good terms with your grandparents, parents, life partner, friends, and family is the simplest and easiest way to live a happy and fulfilling life. Trust me when I say that all other measures are not easy, can be quite draining, and are frequently ineffective. So, reach out to people, sweeten your relationships, talk to them, use technology to bridge communication gaps, speak your heart out, and feel the difference! After all, we all have time now!
