Lessons from summer 2020 when the world has stopped- you can do it more than you think you can

21.09.2020.

Stills feels unbelievable that the world has stopped due to coronnavirus, that this scenario from science fiction movies is happening. It’s coming into our lives like invisible spirit wanting you to feel nothing but free.

It was only March when it’s said that after 3 months coronnavirus is gone in China and life has returned to normal. Then the summer came. Even my job didn’t come as it was supposed as I would work in the seaside hotel. The question were popping out: Will the work start?  Will anybody go to the sea this year? Could we afford the travel?

Point. Not only the world has stop but all the arragements with friends are falling down. Point. How can I utilise my time the best when I have so little time. Point. Don’t skip time for relax. Point. What to choose where to go if you have only one choice. Point.

Will I find another job or just go home? The fact that I am still close to the beach seeing my friends makes me very happy. If the job has given his hands from you, it’s you that still have a chance to choose.

There’s nothing like children. They give joy to the world.

Even when we’re exhausted, there’s still something to laugh about.

Even when you think you cannot find time for all, make yourself think again.

Early mornings are the best. Specially by the sea.

Things you never thought you’ll be doing. Close your eyes. It’s up to your why.

Things you never thought you’ll be doing. Oh yes, you’re capable more than you think you are.

If the world has stopped, what is stopping you from dreaming?

One reason that some ugly place cannot become a beautiful shelter?

The world needs to move and what is moving it better than dreams?

In walking is the joy. Keep on walking. Specially near the beach.

Can you recover even the most unrecoverable things?

Oh how ancient times bring magic, let’s return even in fantasy.

Silence is back. What to do and how to overcome it?

I really didn’t know Poreč has such a long promenade. Oh, always wanted to explore Istria but somehow put it under the carpet. Even in your neighbourhood notice the photogenic corners, they carry stories and your decisions.

If people are still deciding for cheaper options, they’re not giving up. If money is the only reason, you can find so many differences why.

Song is keeping us alive even if we don’t know about it. Concerts around corner look so charming even if we only hear them without seeing.

The world didn’t stop, people are still travelling.

Think about your consciousness, always about your consciousness. Make it clean. Your space and thoughts.

Why so many buses are not running, is it so dangerous? Even in the early morning?

If you can dream, you can make it.

Stop. Make it simple and take care.

Check the sunset, you’re wasting your time if you’re don’t.

This windy collection of thoughts is taking your consciousness to the right decissions with the hope that the world will soon be a better place.

Collection of thoughts which brings positivity when the world has stopped. How much more more are we capable than we think. #summer2020#worldhasstopped#collectionofthoughts
Inspirational thoughts to motivate you in the time when the world has stopped. You can do more than you think you can. #inspirationthoughts#morethanyouthink#summer2020

    Yes, stopping and focusing on what’s really important has really hit home this year. You’re right, children make it all worthwhile, I feel very fortunate to have had so much extra time with my daughter, it’s been a real silver lining.

    I agree, yes it is a terribly difficult time but I think we need to take away as many positives as we can from this odd time x

    I agree with you! We always bash our artist but in this pandemic they might not be the one in the hospital caring for the patients but they are the one that keep us entertained and keep us motivated when we are stock in our home. Great point!

    Good post! True……the world did not stop because of the pandemic. And 2020 is not cancel. If 2020 is not the year for glory, make 2020 as the year of hard work and preparation for future success. Success don’t come to those who aren’t prepared.

    Such an honest and powerful thought. We should continue hoping and dreaming. The future is kinda bleak and almost everyone is struggling right now. But nothing is impossible. I always believe that at any given time, things can make a different turn. Who know? Its the positivity that makes the difference and just keep on going….

    For some reason, when I was reading this, it made me feel very relaxed. Even though we are limited to do stuff, I feel like this is a great time to try and focus on ourselves. It makes me feel like this is also a way to take a break from our busy lives.
