Wow! what a year! It is November 2020 and is almost gone.

by the time you read this, it may not be November anymore, but the principal and the moral of this story still the same.

It amazes me how quickly the world moves and how fast our life can change and takes us by surprise.

One day, we could be so happy and in a matter of seconds, life can change so drastically and so quick that by the time that we can react; we are caught in the middle of something so big and can easily get out of our hands if we are not prepared to be proactive and take action. Sometimes actions require us to move fast, and precisely, we must be on the lookout for minor changes in our environment so we can react fast.

Did you know that sometimes small areas in our lives change before something major is coming? did you know that if something is happening around you that is out of the ordinary, something that doesn't make sense usually is a warning that something is about to change?

Sometimes we don’t realize this warning for the simple reason that we are so caught up in our own world that we overlook these warnings, and sometimes we see the warnings but we don’t believe is a warning and we let it slide under us.

This year! Has been one emotional rollercoaster for the whole world, is a scary moment for all people of any age, and race.

Life has just given us a great lesson here, to open our eyes more, to star-making sure that we count all seconds of our life and make sure that we use them all.

It is time to move forward,and to tell the people that you know how much you love them.

here is a list that you can do :

1.-Call someone and let that person know that you are sorry and that you wanted to let them know that. ( keep it simple )

2.-make sure you are doing your good deeds of the day9 no matter how small or big the did is, just do one a day )

3.-give hugs to your immediate family ( kids, wife, parents, siblings. If they live with you in the same house )

4.- Don’t forget to kiss them as much as possible, even if you think that that is silly ( you will never know if tomorrow they are here with us )

5.-give virtual hugs and kisses to the whole world spatially to the people you don,t know ( you don’t know who may just need that to not end their lives)

6.- Be kind at all times, and especially at work ( I noticed that at work, we hate more people because we believed that they don't work as hard as us, but we fail to make sure that they are ok)

7.- Include everyone, not matters who that person is, just include them into your little bubble, by doing that you have made a huge difference in the world and you don’t even realize it.

little by little, we help the world to move forward, but even better; we help ourselves to have a better world to live in.

living in a world that we create, and have the power to change it however we want it is the best feeling ever, and, yes! I am not talking about having millions of dollars, or any type the money in the bank, even though that may be amazing if you do have it, but I am talking here to have the ability to walk in a world where life is just the way you want it because you are the mastermind creating your future. Mmmmm! maybe that can be my next Post! (The Master Mind Creating My future) “I think, sounds really good as a title, comment on what you think about that title for my next post!

Despite how difficult has been for most of us, it is a lesson to be learned here. Life is showing us that is time to build up close relationships with all people; we have forgotten how to play a game, watch a movie, eat at the same time in the same room, without watching a screen at the dinner table. We have forgotten how to tell stories to our kids and spouses, this pandemic has forced us to be together and close to our families, and made us pay more attention to any member in our family., I saw many things in my kids that I didn’t know that they did in the regular basics, I also learned what music that they like and listen to, I share stories with them at our dinner table and we laugh and smile more, is amazing to rediscover and to know that we are a family and we are here together with, no matter what.

Life is amazing and it takes one disaster to make us learn that, as humans, we tend to focus on working a lot, so we can get the things that we believe we want.

It’s amazing how a bugger, in the nose of your kid can make you smile so hard, or a simple touch of someone who you love; can make you feel amazing.

This year tought me something new.

This year made me realized how much I need and love my family and that I should be more grateful for what I have today since I am not sure what tomorrow will bring.

Remember a simple hug is more important than all the money, and career that we try to pursue, with and some times we don’t even reach the top of that mountain, and when we look back time has pased and our babies are now grown, one day, we close our eyes to sleep and when we open them twenty or thirty years have passed by and is too late.

This year help me to realize that I should enjoy every second of my time and hold those little hands of my kids now that they are young because tomorrow could be late.

My happiest memory of this year was to sit on the couch with my kids and smile so hard because we were together as a family and we know that we will always be here holding our hands no matter what, creating stories to share with the world.
