2020 The Year Which Allowed Us To Get Honest With Ourselves

2020 has been a year, in which we have been given the opportunity to be honest with ourselves. We were placed on lockdown, given the opportunity to work from home, found creative ways to cook and exercise, and had to hope that when we visited the supermarket there was toilet paper for our ever growing backsides! 

But more importantly it has allowed us to look at the areas of our lives that are no longer working and make changes accordingly.

Life will bring many experiences in which we will need to be honest with ourselves. One of the key elements to living a life which is peaceful is by first looking at ourselves and identifying what it is that we want to achieve. 

Now this is always going to be easy for many reasons, some of our decisions will not only affect us, but also affect others around, and this is what causes us at times to not be fully true to what it is we want for ourselves. 

The key here is to take time for yourself without the influences of others ideas and opinions of what you should be doing and truly taking the time to reflect on what it is that you feel you need to be doing for yourself and your life journey. 

There have been many times that we change our minds, based on what another feels that we should be doing. But the reality is it is our life, and if we follow the advice of others we may miss opportunities which the universe has planned for us. 

This is particularly challenging when you have to let go of what you once knew life to be like, so that you are able to experience a new level of life in which the path is unknown and the future unclear. 

Stepping into a future in which we are uncertain can be fearful, it is the fear that we must use to push ourselves forward. 2020 is the year to do this. So much fear has already been placed upon us unwillingly. So we may as well take our own fears and make changes to benefit us. 

Being honest with yourself, your dreams and aspirations, can in the beginning feel overwhelming. There are many questions which are unanswered, and so many things that you may have to take into account. 

Moreover it is not being true to who you see yourself to be, and the deep calling within your soul to be something other than what you have been, that will cause you the most stress in life. 

This year has been eye opening for me personally, I have had to re-invent that which I have seen myself to be for the past 20 years, and take the steps to being extremely honest with bringing myself into alignment with what my life purpose is. 

So imagine, yes I have upset people, I have had to make changes which may not have suited everyone around me, however they have made me feel more balanced with what and where I see myself heading. 

Yes, being honest with yourself requires a level of confidence which takes time to build. It is about knowing that whatever you are currently called to go and experience is being put into your imagination for a reason. 

It is about taking the next logical steps within life that are going to serve your highest purpose and good. It may not feel this way currently, as fear usually prevents us, by leading us to believe that we are making the wrong choice. 

Let's take work for example, you’re currently working a 9-5, you’re not happy with this job and are ready to experience something new.

However financially and especially during this time in which we are about to enter lockdown number 2 you cannot seem to find a way out of your comfort zone. 

If you were honest yourself, and really took the time to look deep inside, you would be able to identify that the deeper feeling of peace is letting you know that it is alright to chase your dream. 

That all the worries which you have will cease - but only once you put your trust in yourself and be honest about your dream coming to fruition. 

Being honest with yourself at times may not be an easy task, it requires a level of honesty that you may have never had to experience before. But in time realise that by being honest it opens the doors to new opportunities for you. 

It allows you to develop self love that you may previously not have had access to. It opens you up to a new perspective that will leave you feeling at peace with yourself. 

Take in account that this new found level of honesty is going to upset some around, not everyone is going to agree with the new path that you are currently taking. 

This is usually more to do with how the changes you are making are going to affect them, more than what it will affect you.

However in the end you discover that the decisions you have made for yourself, have nothing to do with them and everything to do with you. 

Be strong in your own conviction, with the reasons why you have decided to walk this new path.

Only you understand the way that you feel. This is your life, therefore any changes you make are for your highest good. 

2020 for most has given us the opportunity to make choices which we may not have considered before. 2020  is about digging into the clear vision which is needed for us to propel forward in life.

Release all of the fear that you are feeling within, and understand that by being honest with what you are able to achieve in life is what will bring the most joy and happiness within life. 

No more waiting for everything to happen, no 2020 is about believing that you can have all that you want in life and much more, but only when you become truly honest with yourself. 

2020 is the year that everything we once believed to be true, is actually being changed as the world around us is changing, therefore we have a choice to remain with what we once knew life to be or experience something we have never experienced before. 

Only you will know what is best for you!
