Well, 2020 was a struggle for many people. I needed to take some personal time last year, which included taking a step back from YouTube. It was a tough time for me personally and coming back has been difficult. I created a video that is now private, it was too difficult to create and I was a mess. I did try to discuss my 2020 goals and what happened to those expectations and what lessons did I learn.
In this post, I’m sharing the important parts of my message.
2020 had it’s obstacles, I found gratitude helped me overcome really tough times and I was overwhelmed with gratitude that I was able to keep my “regular” job and work remotely. I did struggle through most of the year for various reason. I successfully completed some tasks but it’s really the lessons I learned that made the year manageable.
