It is the twenty-first day of the twenty-first year in the twenty-first century-whatever is peculiar about that though. Some changes seem to be in the offing. For sure, the terror-filled and plague-ravaged year is behind us. Now, there are a bunch of “medical-miracle” vaccines to face Covid-19. To top it, the tension and political instability that was once prevalent in some parts of the world is already doused. What more? To hope things get better more and more or not?

I am in no way a clairvoyant to know all the answers. Nonetheless, I do hope the emerging trends of hope will follow an upward trajectory.

As it is the usual ritual, the are resolutions many of us made at the beginning of the year-habits we want to change, projects we want to accomplish, and bridges we want to cross-which are already almost non-existent by now. The passion has passed, the urgency is gone. Everything looks like all talks and no action, a dilemma one is aware of, but seems helpless to change.

However, there are reasons why you should not despair about failing so early and easily to follow your dreams through: It is too early to be in the panic mode, and there is still enough room for improvement.

Without recommending complacency, or encouraging lethargy, I have a simple solution to help achieve your dreams in 2021. It’s basic, but it works : By changing your thought pattern and harnessing your mind to think positively, you can direct the course of your life. In fact, you can ignite enough spark needed to have your resolutions come through. “If you are going to change the world,” as Frances Arnorld say, “you’ve got be fearless.” Rightfully so, fearlessness, like every other virtue, is first cultivated in the mind.

Many assume things just happen in this world randomly, but they are wrong. What goes on in our minds determine, to a large extent, what goes on around us. If you want to experience success, think success. What this does is that, as you think success you begin to take actions that culminate in succes, and ultimately you experience success.

As inconsequential an aphorism as it may seem, if your mind is right and healthy, you are bound to record so much success this year. Go all the way to feed your mind with the right resources-listen to music that lift your soul, read books that ignite your heart, and fellowship with positive-minded people. Do not dwell on the negative, but on the positive, because it is 2021- a year pregnant with opportunities.
