#HappyNewYear #2020 #NewDecade #Make2020Prosperous
The year 2020 is almost here.
Depending on how you look at it, it’s either the beginning or the end of a decade.
Logic tells us that when we count forward, we begin at 1. With that thinking, the decade starts at the year ending in 1, and ends with the year ending in 0.
It’s only when we count backward – 5,4,3,2,1,0 – as we would when watching the ball drop in Times Square,  do we assign a count to the fractions between 0 and 1.
But, when we get into numbers larger than single digits, the numbers ending in 0 have countable value. That allows some to believe the decade starts with the year ending in 0 and ends with the year ending in 9.
Regardless of how you count decades, 2020 gives us a good place to start fresh, if a fresh start is what you need.
If you see yourself as already successful, 2020 should be a continuation of your success.
If the time leading up to 2020 has been disappointing, maybe it’s time to re-evaluate. Re-evaluation starts with feelings.
If you feel beaten, you are defeated. If you are motivated to overcome adversity, you feel challenged.
Some feelings cannot be chosen. If you’ve lost a loved one, you can’t choose how you feel. Grief is usually the dominant feeling, and it may never leave you. You can’t stop grief, you can only mitigate it over time.
But if you have lost a job or a house, you can choose how you feel and, by extension, how you react.
You can choose how you start, and end, 2020.
Whether you realize it or not, you don’t have to just mitigate losses – say, by taking a job that pays much less and learning to settle for less. But you can overcome those losses and change your life.
How? You can check out one of the many programs out there that, by investing a few, part-time, non-job hours a week, you can earn an income that could match or potentially surpass any that a job would give you.

So, if you see 2020 as the end of a decade, you can use it to set the table for a very successful new decade.
If you see 2020 as the beginning of a decade, you can start building a better life that could last you for decades to come.
It comes down to choosing your feelings and choosing your actions wisely.
You can’t expect circumstances to change without you acting to change them.
It’s not what happens to you that matters, it’s how you proceed afterward.
Some events can elicit feelings you cannot choose. Others require you to choose how you feel, and how you react.
Choose to act. Choose to overcome. Happy 2020.
