Sundays with Sophia - Class 1

Let’s face it: 2019 came and went and there’s little we can say about it. And if there were some

things we could say about it, I’m not sure 2019 would want to be privy, because some of the

remarks might be nasty or distasteful. Or maybe I should speak for myself. What do I know?

Maybe 2019 was a rockin’ year and you wouldn’t change a thing.

...which would be fantastic and also lead me to my next point -- wish it away, change it, keep it;

either and any way it doesn’t matter. And not that it doesn’t matter in that you shouldn’t consider

what transpired, but it doesn’t matter is that there is nothing you can do to change it. What

happened is already done, finito, unchangeable; which of course may be obvious to you as

smart, thinking things. However, I love a little redundancy as I find that the incredibly obvious

often loiters juuust out of reach, which, in turn, often leads to an excess of replaying scenarios,

hyper-analyzing details, agonizing about the script, which is then typically leads one to utter

despair. Despair about something that ain’t going to change no matter how strong your force of

will. This may all be an exaggeration, but you catch my drift.

Anyway, 2020- well, 2020 is here and it’s now and it’s present AND it’s future. What we do now,

the habits we form, practice and further develop become our behaviors. And our habitsand

behaviors inform our futures. And maybe they don’t determine them for certain, but they sure as

hell have influence. And saner minds, clearer intentions and optimistic mindsets lead to better

days, energetic weeks and fulfilling years. So let’s re-set, re-group and collect ourselves to

make 2020 what we want it to be. Let’s go!
