The time of transition

We are on the way to 2020, a good period to visualize my future, which I will soon experience.

You don’t need to attach any special meaning to 2020 in order to create your future. You are creating it every day, with every thought, whether you are aware of it or not, whether you want it or not. What chances are you catching? Or loosing? What choices open new doors, or close them? What people do you attract or reject? It’s all up to you.

I’m “using” 2020 as the way to mark a need for transition, for change, for improvement. We can all work, each in our own way, to change the way we look at things, and thus our life.

The interesting part is: how to get this concept away from a purely intellectual level and incorporate it as an experienced, very real and everyday personal way of living. From “thought experiment” to “real life, that’s how I live it”. It’s been, for me, a question of putting these concepts into daily practice. Little by little, through many, many years, I have gathered knowledge, but it’s only in these last couple of years that it all started to sum up, and I was able to really connect many dots.

I like to follow the various alternative websites, and there are some whose input I am very grateful for, they have given me food for thought, real-life examples, new data, and a higher viewpoint. Working with the concepts, incorporating them in my life, watching the world around me, has given me much hope for the future.

I do observe that people are focusing on. They may not even know about “2020″ or any of that, yet they want and visualize peace and growth for themselves and those they care for. Politics is now less extremized: it’s not this candidate against that candidate and “I’m the only one that knows what’s best” anymore. Discussions are not heated, there’s no preconceived hate for the opponent. We can all agree on being disillusioned, cheated, surrounded by such corruption that no-one seems above it, scandal follows scandal, no-one seems immune. And that paves the way for personal choices, for concentrating on what matters, working on own solutions, outside “group-thinking” and “trends” and “belongings”.

I think this is not bad at all. Awaking up that was needed, since the real solutions need space to emerge in, and that space is now at least there.

I’ve noticed a lot more attention to planetary matters, protecting nature, care for animals and the environment. And much more spirituality. Never as this year have I had so many enriching discussions with all kinds of people about spiritual matters. It’s like we are beginning to communicate, to accept different viewpoints, to be able to reach out further than our differences and find common ground in basic truths. It has been really amazing.
